In cash terms the typical S13 home went from £42,000 in 1995 to £190,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 108%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 5% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the S13 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 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.8%). 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) | +5.3% | +2.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.2% | −0.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.9% | +1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
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, 54% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £285,000 against £124,000 for a flat, 2.3 times the price.

How many homes change hands in S13
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
S13 recorded 259 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 477 sales a year before the financial crisis and 297 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 S13
For renting purposes S13 sits in Sheffield. The ONS average private rent there is £922 a month (May 2026). 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.
Against the £190,000 median purchase price, a rent of £922 a month (£11,064 a year) works out at a 5.8% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in S
Real sold prices by size across the S area, straight 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £235,000 | £330,000 (+40%) | £495,000 (+50%) | £750,000 (+52%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
