Market Overview: WV16
With 122 recorded transactions in twelve months, WV16 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 £250 to £995k, which is a normal spread for a postcode of this size.
No single property type dominates — terraced houses led with 30% but the mix is diverse, while semi-detached houses accounted for 27% and detached houses accounted for 28%.
The twelve-month trend is upward: comparing the first half of the window with the second, the median shifted by roughly +11.6%. Monthly volume was fairly consistent, giving the trend line a reliable shape.
Liquidity in WV16 4AA 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 8.4%, based on ONS regional rents.
