Eckington market report S21 4, Sheffield

The standing S21 4 (Eckington) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 3,398 registered sales in S21 4 (Sheffield) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.

In short: the middle 2026 sale in S21 4 (Sheffield) came in at £225,000, out of 37 registered, up 28% on five years earlier, and the mean stands at £241,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,500 per square metre over the last five years. The record behind it is 3,398 completed sales lodged with HM Land Registry since 1995, monthly refreshed, with no valuations or asking prices anywhere in the figures.

S21 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside S21 (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.

What S21 4 homes really sell for

The 2026 median for S21 4 is £225,000, taken from 37 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £241,500, somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.

Price per square metre in S21 4

Per square metre, S21 4 homes have averaged around £2,500 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.

Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, S21 4 runs 21% below it.

In cash terms the typical S21 4 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £225,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 159%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 14% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.

The strongest year on record here is 2004 (+39.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2021 (−12.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Annualised returns

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.

How many homes change hands in S21 4

Over the last twelve months of data, 37 sales completed in S21 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 142 sales a year before the financial crisis and 81 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.

What tenants pay around S21 4

S21 4 falls under North East Derbyshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £774 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £556 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,184, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

£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.

How S21 4 trades

Only 37 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes S21 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.

What people ask about S21 4 (Eckington)

Are S21 4 prices heading up or down?

Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is up 28% over five years in cash and flat after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.

Method, briefly: HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0) supplies every sale, geocoded to address level; CPIH from the ONS restates prices in today's money; ONS local-authority figures supply the rents. Medians of real sales, not valuations. No part of this page is financial advice.
