Section 01
How William Street, Colne prices moved
The chart tracks the median William Street, Colne house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2000 to 2007. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 6 | £31,000 | £56,473 |
The highest yearly median on record for William Street, Colne is £55,000 in 2007; the lowest is £10,750 in 2000. Across the full 8-year record the cash median has moved from £10,750 to £55,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £21,500, so the real change over the whole record is +344.8% — about +23.76% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +411.6% in cash against +344.8% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to William Street, Colne values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. William Street, Colne is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 76 | 95.0% | £35,000 | £9,000 – £84,950 |
| Flat or maisonette | 4 | 5.0% | £19,500 | £16,500 – £60,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in William Street, Colne
80 of the sales on record are leasehold and 0 freehold — 100.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 80 | 100.0% | £35,750 |
| Freehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
A further 11 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Living in William Street, Colne
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Pendle, 26.8% of 49,697 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 7.8% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Pendle at £658 a month as of Jun 2026 — £488 for a one-bedroom home and £726 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £35,750 here, that rent is a gross yield of 22.09% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of BB8, 191 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 86 violent, 4 burglary, 8 vehicle-related and 39 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is about typical.
Against the 95,757 residents the 2021 census counted in Pendle, that is 1.99 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.
Section 08
The neighbourhood around William Street, Colne
The 2021 census counted 95,757 residents in Pendle across 38,066 households. 65.2% of those households own their home and 34.8% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

How William Street, Colne compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. William Street, Colne sits below that national figure — -77.3%.
Within Colne the street ranks 372 of 387 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £81,500 (-56.1%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £538 per square metre, across 31 of the 80 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £9,000 to £84,950. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
William Street, Colne sits in Pendle, in the North West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Pendle at 4.5 times median local earnings of £30,981 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

When were William Street, Colne house prices at their highest?

The latest sale shown here completed on 14 Aug 2024. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
