Prices in Droitwich have shown strong growth, a year-on-year change of +5%. Within Worcestershire, Droitwich ranks 3rd by price out of 7 principal towns, and 7th by transaction volume.

On a quarterly view, Droitwich median prices moved from £300,000 in Q3 2024 to £349,500 in Q4 2025, a change of +16.5% over 5 quarters. Droitwich has now recorded 2 consecutive quarters of price growth. The most recent quarter is excluded because HM Land Registry registrations for it are still incomplete.

Wychavon District Council, the local planning authority covering Droitwich, approved 193 residential planning applications and refused 110 in the last 12 months, with 146 still awaiting a decision. That is an approval rate of 64%.

Those applications propose around 1,009 homes, an estimated £315.1m of development value at local sale prices. Treat the unit total as an upper bound, since an outline permission and its reserved-matters application both count.

Wychavon District Council covers more than one town in Worcestershire, so these figures are authority-wide rather than specific to Droitwich alone.
