How Bath Road, Worcester prices moved
The chart tracks the median Bath Road, Worcester 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 | 5 | £58,000 | £128,787 |
| 2000s | 10 | £138,000 | £251,395 |
| 2010s | 10 | £168,000 | £236,880 |
| 2020s | 6 | £256,750 | £262,332 |
The highest yearly median on record for Bath Road, Worcester is £272,500 in 2025; the lowest is £44,425 in 1995. Across the full 31-year record the cash median has moved from £44,425 to £272,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £98,644, so the real change over the whole record is +182.2% — about +3.52% 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: +43.4% in cash against +3.9% 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.

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 Bath Road, Worcester 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. Bath Road, Worcester 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 | 193 | 33.0% | £160,000 | £30,000 – £829,840 |
| Flat or maisonette | 161 | 27.6% | £145,000 | £21,500 – £317,500 |
| Terraced | 122 | 20.9% | £155,000 | £20,000 – £485,000 |
| Detached | 108 | 18.5% | £242,500 | £25,000 – £795,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Bath Road, Worcester
159 of the sales on record are leasehold and 425 freehold — 27.2% 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.
The median leasehold sale is £145,000 and the median freehold sale £175,000 — a gap of +20.7%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 159 | 27.2% | £145,000 |
| Freehold | 425 | 72.8% | £175,000 |
| New build | 49 | 8.4% | £180,000 |
| Existing home | 535 | 91.6% | £158,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +13.9%. 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.
A further 27 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 Bath Road, Worcester
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Malvern Hills, 40.4% of 39,962 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 9.5% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 839 | 2.1% |
| B | 5,813 | 14.5% |
| C | 9,487 | 23.7% |
| D | 12,588 | 31.5% |
| E | 7,433 | 18.6% |
| F | 2,891 | 7.2% |
| G | 911 | 2.3% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Malvern Hills at £940 a month as of Jun 2026 — £692 for a one-bedroom home and £1,077 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £160,750 here, that rent is a gross yield of 7.02% 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 WR5, 93 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 30 violent, 2 burglary, 6 vehicle-related and 23 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.8 times quieter.
Against the 79,486 residents the 2021 census counted in Malvern Hills, that is 1.17 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.

The neighbourhood around Bath Road, Worcester
The 2021 census counted 79,486 residents in Malvern Hills across 34,889 households. 72.3% of those households own their home and 27.7% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
11 state and independent schools have a WR5 postcode: 8 primary, 2 secondary, 1 16 plus. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How Bath Road, Worcester compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Bath Road, Worcester sits above that national figure — +2.1%.
Within Worcester the street ranks 1202 of 2010 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £160,000 (+0.5%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,995 per square metre, across 142 of the 584 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 £20,000 to £829,840. 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.
Bath Road, Worcester sits in Malvern Hills, in the West Midlands.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Malvern Hills at 9.4 times median local earnings of £34,570 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 Bath Road, Worcester?
The median price paid in Bath Road, Worcester across every sale on the register is £160,750. 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.
How many homes have sold in Bath Road, Worcester?
584 sales are on record for Bath Road, Worcester, the most recent completing on 26 May 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Bath Road, Worcester house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +43.4% between 2015 and 2025. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +3.9%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Bath Road, Worcester house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £272,500, set in 2025. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Bath Road, Worcester?
£1,995 per square metre, from the 142 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 26 May 2026. 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.
