Aston market report S26 4, Sheffield

The standing S26 4 (Aston) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Everything below comes from 3,252 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in S26 4 (Sheffield) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.

Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.

In short: the 2026 median for S26 4 (Sheffield) is £190,000, from 23 registered sales, up 19% on five years earlier; the mean is £223,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,480 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 3,252 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.

S26 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside S26 (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 S26 4 homes really sell for

In the S26 4 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £190,000, from 23 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £223,000, sitting a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.

House prices per square metre in S26 4

By floor space, homes in S26 4 have sold for about £2,480 per square metre on average over the last five years: the like-for-like measure that lets you compare a small flat with a large house, from the Energy Performance Certificate floor areas behind each sale.

England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving S26 4 33% below the national figure.

In cash terms the typical S26 4 home went from £39,000 in 1995 to £190,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 124%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2023; the current median sits about 26% below that. Someone who bought at the 2023 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2000 (+52.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−13.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

What S26 4 has returned, per year

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.

The turnover behind the prices

The register shows 23 S26 4 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 157 sales a year before the financial crisis and 86 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 S26 4

S26 4 falls under Rotherham, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £679 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £483 a month here against £1,065 for four or more bedrooms.

£679 a month is £8,148 a year, which against the £190,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.3%. 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.

What kind of market S26 4 is

Only 23 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes S26 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.

Common questions on S26 4 (Aston)

Will S26 4 prices rise from here?

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 19% over five years in cash but down 6% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

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.
