In cash terms the typical S26 2 home went from £47,500 in 1995 to £215,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 108%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 17% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the S26 2 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 2004 (+35.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What S26 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.1% | −3.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.0% | −3.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.4% |
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 S26 2
How many homes change hands
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 43 sales completed in S26 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 126 sales a year before the financial crisis and 84 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 shape of the S26 2 market
This is a thin market: 43 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict.

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.
