How Wolverham Road, Ellesmere Port prices moved
The chart tracks the median Wolverham Road, Ellesmere Port house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1998 to 2021. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 2 | £38,000 | £84,378 |
| 2000s | 4 | £59,300 | £108,027 |
| 2010s | 3 | £112,250 | £158,273 |
| 2020s | 1 | £120,000 | £122,609 |
The highest yearly median on record for Wolverham Road, Ellesmere Port is £121,500 in 2015; the lowest is £38,000 in 1998. Across the full 24-year record the cash median has moved from £38,000 to £120,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £78,794, so the real change over the whole record is +92.4% — about +2.89% 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: +53.8% in cash against +26.8% 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.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Wolverham Road, Ellesmere Port 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 | 54 | 50.5% | £95,000 | £17,000 – £190,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Wolverham Road, Ellesmere Port
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 107 freehold — 0.0% 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 | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 107 | 100.0% | £100,000 |
A further 4 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.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Cheshire West and Chester, 47.3% of 169,454 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 4.4% 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 Cheshire West and Chester at £981 a month as of Jun 2026 — £717 for a one-bedroom home and £1,109 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £100,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 11.77% 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 CH65, 377 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 172 violent, 5 burglary, 9 vehicle-related and 38 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.3 times busier.
Against the 357,150 residents the 2021 census counted in Cheshire West and Chester, that is 1.06 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.
