1 · most deprived10 · least deprived

WN5 8SJ, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 5 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 WN5 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in WN5 that have recorded sales and 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home.

Questions, answered

The WN5 report: your questions

What is the average house price in WN5?

The median sold price in WN5, St. Helens was £180,000 across 250 recorded sales between 6 Feb 2026 and 24 Aug 2026. Most sales fell between £106,800 and £335,250. That is the median of real HM Land Registry transactions, not an estimate or a valuation.

Which schools are near WN5?

The Department for Education's register lists 8 open schools within 3 km of the WN5 district centre, the nearest being St John's CofE Primary School (last Ofsted grade: Good). These are nearest by straight-line distance from the district centroid — they are not catchment or admission areas, which councils set individually and do not publish centrally.

Is WN5 a deprived area?

On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, the 12 WN5 postcodes we sampled run from decile 1 to decile 9, with a median of decile 5 of 10 — where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. Deprivation is published for small areas, not postcode districts, so a district like WN5 usually spans several. It is area context, never a judgement on an individual home.

Have there been planning applications near WN5?

The last check of the local planning authority register found 155 applications within 500 m of the WN5 district centre; the most recent are listed on this page with their reference, description and status as the authority published them. For an up-to-the-minute search, use the planning tool with your full postcode.

Can I see what an individual address in WN5 sold for?

Yes — this page lists the 24 most recently sold doors of the 248 distinct addresses in the records we hold for WN5, each with its price and date. Addresses come from recorded sales since 1995, so a home that has never been sold does not appear; and we link an address to its own property page only where the match is certain, never by guessing.

How up to date are the WN5 sold prices?

Sold prices come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, covering sales up to 28 August 2026. The store is rebuilt monthly. New sales can take several weeks to appear in the official register after completion, so the very latest transactions may not show yet.

Does WN5 cover my exact street?

WN5 is the outward half of the postcode and covers the whole district, so the district-wide figures on this page are medians and ranges — not a valuation of any single property. The address list gives you the door-level picture, and the free checks take a full postcode.
