Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on WV7: few sales, so go in with your eyes open
WV7 sees just 9 sales a month, with a median below last year’s, so buyers have time on their side, though a few sales can mislead either way.
When selling here, £310,000 is only the middle of a market that runs from £162,600 to £525,000, so lean on the nearest like-for-like sale rather than the middle figure; sales are too rare here to hurry, so give the price a local agent’s sense-check; cash buyers typically offer around 70–85% of market value (a rough guide, not a quote), which only makes sense if certainty is worth that much to you.
Sell houseFor buyers, on price, WV7 is above the UK average, but the local median has slipped, so it is fair to test an asking price, though a dip is not a trend.
Do your own homework first: planning history nearby (618 applications on record within 500 m), what you are paying for a new-build premium and whether the home is at risk of flooding, then hand the title to your conveyancer.
The sold prices leave a lot open; the free WV7 OfferCheck closes some of the gap with flood, crime, planning and council tax.

In plain English
What the Shropshire (WV7) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £415,000 against £177,000 for flats: about 2.3 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £162,600 and £525,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (94%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.
- 16% of these sales were new builds, which often sell at a premium the first time around and can lift the median above what resale homes make.
- This is a quiet district: only about 9 recorded sales a month.

Across the 12 sampled WV7 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 6 to decile 9, with a median of decile 9 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
WV7 3PQ, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 9 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.

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 WV7 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in WV7: 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.

What it costs to run a home in WV7, band by band
Shropshire's council tax for 2026-27 set against the WV7 median sold price of £310,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the WV7 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.
