S1 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside S1 (Sheffield). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical S1 4 home went from £31,000 in 1995 to £97,500 in 2026, roughly 3.1 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 45%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2004; the current median sits about 57% below that. Someone who bought at the 2004 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the S1 4 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+148.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−17.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −17.0% | −19.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.5% | −6.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.5% | −4.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | −0.9% | −3.6% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
S1 4 recorded 18 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 165 sales a year before the financial crisis and 57 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market S1 4 is
This is a thin market: 18 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within S1, this sector trades 8% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
Rents around S1 4
The local authority for S1 4 is Sheffield, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £922 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £683 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,327, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Sheffield
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £97,500 median sold price, £922 a month is £11,064 a year, a gross yield of 11.3%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

The price of an extra bedroom in S
Real sold prices by size across the S area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £235,000 | £330,000 (+40%) | £495,000 (+50%) | £750,000 (+52%) |
| Semi-detached | £160,000 | £175,000 (+9%) | £220,000 (+26%) | £321,000 (+46%) | £550,000 (+71%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
