Market Overview: WV8
Across the last twelve months, 21 residential sales in WV8 produced a median price of £400k. Individual sales ranged from £175k to £780k, which is a normal spread for a postcode of this size.
Detached houses were the most common transaction type, representing 62% of sales, while semi-detached houses accounted for 29%. Detached-house dominance points to lower-density suburban or village character, with meaningfully larger lot sizes than the UK average.
The WV8 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 5.4%, based on ONS regional rents.
