Eckington market report S21 1, Sheffield
The standing S21 1 (Eckington) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. The raw material for this page is 3,547 HM Land Registry entries for S21 1 (Sheffield), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the 2026 median for S21 1 (Sheffield) is £225,000, from 33 registered sales, up 22% on five years earlier; the mean is £235,700, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,470 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 3,547 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
S21 1 is one sector of S21 (Sheffield): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

What S21 1 homes really sell for
33 sales were registered in S21 1 in 2026, and the middle one of them, the median, went for £225,000. The mean works out at £235,700, almost on top of it, so sales bunch tightly around the typical price.
S21 1 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of S21 1 sales average about £2,470 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts S21 1 21% below the country at large.
S21 1's median sold price, 1995 to 2026
Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical S21 1 home went from £42,500 in 1995 to £225,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 144%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 5% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the S21 1 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 (+39.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−13.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What S21 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +7.1% | +4.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.0% | −0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.7% |
| 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.
Sales activity in S21 1
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 33 S21 1 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 145 sales a year before the financial crisis and 77 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.
How S21 1 trades
Only 33 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes S21 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.
What tenants pay around S21 1
The local authority for S21 1 is North East Derbyshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £774 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £556 a month here against £1,184 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, North East Derbyshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£774 a month is £9,288 a year, which against the £225,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.1%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

Moving up a bedroom in S: the cost
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%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
