Market Overview: WS5
Across the last twelve months, 15 residential sales in WS5 produced a median price of £350k. Individual sales ranged from £131k to £505k, which is a normal spread for a postcode of this size.
Detached houses were the most common transaction type, representing 67% of sales, while flats accounted for 27%. Detached-house dominance points to lower-density suburban or village character, with meaningfully larger lot sizes than the UK average.
The WS5 3AA dataset is a reasonable baseline, but decisions at the individual-property level should still lean on matched comparables rather than the area median alone. On the rental side, the estimated gross yield on a median-priced property here is around 6.2%, based on ONS regional rents.
