How WS8 6 prices moved

The chart tracks the median WS8 6 house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2026. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.

Median of the yearly medians in each decade.

The highest yearly median on record for WS8 6 is £218,500 in 2025; the lowest is £40,375 in 1996. Across the full 32-year record the cash median has moved from £45,300 to £210,000.

In 2026 money that first median is worth £100,587, so the real change over the whole record is +108.8% — about +2.40% 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: +66.7% in cash against +19.4% 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 WS8 6 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. WS8 6 is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.

How big homes are in WS8 6

Energy Performance Certificates record a floor area for every home that has been surveyed, sold or let — far more homes than have changed hands. 739 certificates cover WS8 6, and their median floor area is 65 m².

The median across the whole register is 76 m², so homes here are smaller than average — -14.5%. Size explains a large part of why one area's median price sits above another's, which is why the price per square metre further up this page is the fairer comparison.

Section 06

Ownership and new build in WS8 6

248 of the sales on record are leasehold and 2,212 freehold — 10.1% 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 £104,000 and the median freehold sale £130,000 — a gap of +25.0%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.

Existing home2,02282.2%£123,875
Shares are of the sales used on this page.

New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +1.3%. 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 144 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.

Section 09

How WS8 6 compares

The median across the whole archive is £157,500. WS8 6 sits below that national figure — -21.3%.

Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,552 per square metre, across 205 of the 2,460 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 £795,000. 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.

Quick answers

Common questions about this data

What is the average house price in WS8 6?

The median price paid in WS8 6 across every sale on the register is £124,000. 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 WS8 6?

2,460 sales are on record for WS8 6, the most recent completing on 22 May 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

Have WS8 6 house prices actually risen?

In cash, the median rose +66.7% between 2016 and 2026. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +19.4%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.

When were WS8 6 house prices at their highest?

The highest yearly median on record is £218,500, 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 WS8 6?

£1,552 per square metre, from the 205 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 22 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.
