How Marsh Lane, Wolverhampton prices moved
The chart tracks the median Marsh Lane, Wolverhampton house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2025. 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 | 4 | £34,000 | £75,496 |
| 2000s | 7 | £76,000 | £138,450 |
| 2010s | 3 | £98,050 | £138,251 |
| 2020s | 3 | £197,500 | £201,793 |
The highest yearly median on record for Marsh Lane, Wolverhampton is £210,000 in 2024; the lowest is £31,000 in 1995. Across the full 31-year record the cash median has moved from £31,000 to £197,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £68,835, so the real change over the whole record is +193.2% — about +3.65% 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: +114.7% in cash against +50.4% 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.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Marsh Lane, Wolverhampton 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 | 138 | 90.2% | £94,000 | £15,000 – £287,000 |
| Terraced | 12 | 7.8% | £99,950 | £25,000 – £169,000 |
| Detached | 3 | 2.0% | £148,000 | £45,000 – £195,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Marsh Lane, Wolverhampton
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 153 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 | 153 | 100.0% | £95,500 |
A further 14 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 South Staffordshire, 41.1% of 42,918 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 5.0% 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 South Staffordshire at £947 a month as of Jun 2026 — £658 for a one-bedroom home and £1,006 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £95,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 11.90% 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 WV10, 258 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 140 violent, 9 burglary, 12 vehicle-related and 5 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.5 times busier.
Against the 110,472 residents the 2021 census counted in South Staffordshire, that is 2.34 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.

How Marsh Lane, Wolverhampton compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Marsh Lane, Wolverhampton sits below that national figure — -39.4%.
Within Wolverhampton the street ranks 1905 of 2560 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £124,950 (-23.6%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,063 per square metre, across 45 of the 153 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 £15,000 to £287,000. 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.
Marsh Lane, Wolverhampton sits in South Staffordshire, in the West Midlands.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in South Staffordshire at 7.2 times median local earnings of £40,205 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 Marsh Lane, Wolverhampton house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £210,000, set in 2024. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
