How this area has changed

Typical prices for semi-detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to September 2026 against the same twelve months back then.

Postcode sector WN5 8 £225,000 £168,000 +34% since £136,250 +65% since £125,000 +80% since £136,750 +65% since
Wigan £215,000 £165,000 +30% since £128,000 +68% since £117,500 +83% since £120,000 +79% since

The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
