How Linnet Close, Newton-le-willows prices moved
The chart tracks the median Linnet Close, Newton-le-willows house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2003. 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 | 1 | £44,500 | £98,811 |
| 2000s | 4 | £52,950 | £96,459 |
The highest yearly median on record for Linnet Close, Newton-le-willows is £76,950 in 2003; the lowest is £44,500 in 1995. Across the full 9-year record the cash median has moved from £44,500 to £76,950.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £98,811, so the real change over the whole record is +47.2% — about +4.95% 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: +72.9% in cash against +47.2% 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. Linnet Close, Newton-le-willows 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 38 | 51.4% | £74,000 | £39,950 – £165,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Linnet Close, Newton-le-willows
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 74 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 | 74 | 100.0% | £74,950 |
| New build | 11 | 14.9% | £44,500 |
| Existing home | 63 | 85.1% | £82,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -45.7%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.

Living in Linnet Close, Newton-le-willows
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across St. Helens, 45.4% of 92,985 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 2.9% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 254 | 0.3% |
| B | 8,496 | 9.1% |
| C | 33,448 | 36.0% |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in St. Helens at £798 a month as of Jun 2026 — £587 for a one-bedroom home and £890 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £74,950 here, that rent is a gross yield of 12.78% 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 WA12, 180 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 70 violent, 10 burglary, 13 vehicle-related and 18 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is about typical.
Against the 183,248 residents the 2021 census counted in St. Helens, that is 0.98 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.

Linnet Close, Newton-le-willows sits in St. Helens, in the North West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in St. Helens at 5.7 times median local earnings of £33,379 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6.

Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Linnet Close, Newton-le-willows?
The median price paid in Linnet Close, Newton-le-willows across every sale on the register is £74,950. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.

74 sales are on record for Linnet Close, Newton-le-willows, the most recent completing on 30 Jun 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

What is the price per square metre in Linnet Close, Newton-le-willows?
£1,259 per square metre, from the 27 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 30 Jun 2025. 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.
