Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on WA3: steady sales, so price from the evidence
250 sales since February 2026 make WA3 a steady market, and with no dependable year-on-year figure to hand, recent sold homes are a safer guide than any headline.
If you are selling, a spread from £130,000 to £475,500 makes £248,000 a poor guide to any one home, so benchmark against near-identical homes, not the headline; buyers can compare homes at this pace but are not spoilt for choice.
Sell houseIf you are buying, on price, WA3 is below the UK average, so ask what is behind the lower prices before you assume a bargain.
On any WA3 home we would check the tenure (leasehold is common here), flood risk over the long term and council tax (Band D is £2,594 a year), and ask a conveyancer to read the title.
With averages this broad, the free WA3 OfferCheck adds flood, crime, planning and council tax from the official sources.

In plain English
What the Salford (WA3) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £370,000 against £122,000 for flats: about 3.0 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £130,000 and £475,500, so the median says little about any one home.
- 42% of these sales were leasehold: a genuine mix of houses and flats, so check the tenure of the home you are looking at.
- This is an active district: about 44 recorded sales a month.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled WA3 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 2 to decile 10, with a median of decile 8 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
WA3 2JD, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 8 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so WA3 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in WA3: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

Cost to run
Two sources, one table
What it costs to run a home in WA3, band by band
Salford's council tax for 2026-27 set against the WA3 median sold price of £248,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearSalford | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £248,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,730 | £144 | 0.70% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £2,018 | £168 | 0.81% |

| H | over £320,000 | £5,189 | £432 | 2.09% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the WA3 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
