The street in brief

The Highlands is a street almost entirely of detached houses. Sales here are sparse and mostly older — the last recorded sale was in 2022, so today's values are best judged from the wider WF5 figures below. On floor area that works out near £3,333 per square metre, above the district's £2,344. Recent sales are too thin to call a trend for the street itself; WF5 prices as a whole have held broadly level. With 7 sales across 4 homes since 1997, homes here come to market only rarely.

too few recent sales on The Highlands for a current comparison — its all-time £131,500 median reflects older prices, against WF5's £190,000 over the last 8 years; on floor space it runs £3,333/m² against the district's £2,344/m² (+42%).

Street and WF5 figures are medians of HM Land Registry sales; the England figures are the UK House Price Index mix-adjusted average — a different basis, so compare direction rather than levels between the two.
