How this area has changed

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

Area	Now	5 years ago	10 years ago	15 years ago	20 years ago
Lychgate	–	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	Not enough sales
Postcode sector WN5 9	£168,000	£138,000 +22% since	£91,500 +84% since	£82,500 +104% since	£94,875 +77% 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.

Sector WN5 9 Wigan Typical price each year, semi-detached houses. A gap is a year with too few sales.
