How Broadfields, Runcorn prices moved
The chart tracks the median Broadfields, Runcorn house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 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 | 3 | £110,950 | £246,361 |
| 2000s | 2 | £147,450 | £268,610 |
The highest yearly median on record for Broadfields, Runcorn is £220,000 in 2003; the lowest is £87,350 in 1996. Across the full 8-year record the cash median has moved from £87,350 to £220,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £189,482, so the real change over the whole record is +119.4% — about +11.88% 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: +151.9% in cash against +119.4% 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 Broadfields, Runcorn values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Broadfields, Runcorn 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 80 | 94.1% | £147,950 | £79,950 – £380,000 |
| Semi-detached | 5 | 5.9% | £87,350 | £79,750 – £189,950 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Broadfields, Runcorn
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 85 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 | 85 | 100.0% | £146,950 |
| New build | 41 | 48.2% | £116,250 |
| Existing home | 44 | 51.8% | £238,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -51.2%. 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.

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.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

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 £146,950 here, that rent is a gross yield of 8.01% 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 WA7, 231 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 114 violent, 6 burglary, 2 vehicle-related and 21 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.4 times busier.
Against the 357,150 residents the 2021 census counted in Cheshire West and Chester, that is 0.65 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

How Broadfields, Runcorn compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Broadfields, Runcorn sits below that national figure — -6.7%.
Within Runcorn the street ranks 159 of 712 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £96,750 (+51.9%).

Broadfields, Runcorn sits in Cheshire West and Chester, in the North West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Cheshire West and Chester at 6.9 times median local earnings of £37,198 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Broadfields, Runcorn?

When were Broadfields, Runcorn house prices at their highest?

What is the price per square metre in Broadfields, Runcorn?
£1,475 per square metre, from the 8 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.

The latest sale shown here completed on 18 Dec 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.
