Market Overview: WS5
With 410 recorded transactions in twelve months, WS5 is one of the more liquid postcodes in the sample — individual outliers have less pull on the median figure than they would elsewhere. Individual sales ranged from £44k to £3.90m, which is a normal spread for a postcode of this size.
No single property type dominates — terraced houses led with 37% but the mix is diverse, while semi-detached houses accounted for 30% and detached houses accounted for 17%.
The twelve-month trend is upward: comparing the first half of the window with the second, the median shifted by roughly +4.6%. Monthly volume was fairly consistent, giving the trend line a reliable shape.
Liquidity in WS5 3AA is healthy: the high sale count makes it easier to benchmark a specific property against genuinely recent comparables rather than extrapolating from older deals. On the rental side, the estimated gross yield on a median-priced property here is around 11.3%, based on ONS regional rents.
