Market Overview: WV1
Activity in WV1 over the last twelve months ran to 59 residential sales, giving a workable sample size for median-level analysis. Individual sales ranged from £35k to £1.00m, which is a normal spread for a postcode of this size.
No single property type dominates — terraced houses led with 32% but the mix is diverse, while flats accounted for 25% and semi-detached houses accounted for 31%.
The twelve-month trend is softer than it was: the median in the second half of the window was 23.8% below the first-half median. Monthly volume was fairly consistent, giving the trend line a reliable shape.
The WV1 1AA 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 13.1%, based on ONS regional rents.
