In cash terms the typical S12 4 home went from £37,000 in 1995 to £185,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 130%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 3% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the S12 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 2003 (+39.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.4%). 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 year (since 2025) | +5.7% | +3.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.7% | −0.1% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +5.8% | +1.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.6% | +1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Sales activity in S12 4
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 51 S12 4 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 202 sales a year before the financial crisis and 120 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What homes rent for around S12 4
The local authority for S12 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 £185,000 median sold price, £922 a month is £11,064 a year, a gross yield of 6.0%: 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.
Reading the S12 4 market
Only 51 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes S12 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

Of everything listed here, 6% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.

The price of an extra bedroom in S
What homes of each size actually sold for across the S area, 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 | £210,000 | £230,000 (+10%) | £280,000 (+22%) | £357,000 (+27%) | £475,995 (+33%) |
| Semi-detached | £160,000 | £170,000 (+6%) | £190,000 (+12%) | £249,995 (+32%) | £350,000 (+40%) |
| Terraced | £130,000 | £135,000 (+4%) | £157,000 (+16%) | £225,000 (+43%) | £290,000 (+29%) |
| Flat | £107,000 | £133,500 (+25%) | £230,000 (+72%) | £306,000 (+33%) | £475,000 (+55%) |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
