In cash terms the typical S12 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £193,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 122%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 5% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the S12 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 (+27.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−9.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.0% | +3.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.4% | −0.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.1% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 68% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £275,000 against £134,500 for a flat, 2.0 times the price.

Transaction volumes
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.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
S12 recorded 329 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 573 sales a year before the financial crisis and 357 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.
The rental side of S12
S12 falls under Sheffield, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £922 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £683 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,327 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Sheffield
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £193,000 median purchase price, a rent of £922 a month (£11,064 a year) works out at a 5.7% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Moving up a bedroom in S: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the S area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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%) |
| Terraced | £132,000 | £140,000 (+6%) | £175,000 (+25%) | £256,500 (+47%) | £350,000 (+36%) |
| Flat | £120,000 | £148,000 (+23%) | £265,000 (+79%) | £461,750 (+74%) | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
