What S35 1 homes really sell for
The S35 1 median stands at £245,200 for 2026, built from 45 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £257,500, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.
S35 1 prices by floor area
A square metre of S35 1 home has cost about £2,790 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so S35 1 trades 14% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical S35 1 home went from £46,500 in 1995 to £245,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 143%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. 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 S35 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 2004 (+30.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.3%). 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 year (since 2025) | +6.6% | +4.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.2% | −0.6% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +5.3% | +0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.4% | +1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +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.
How many homes change hands in S35 1
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 45 S35 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 147 sales a year before the financial crisis and 90 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.
What tenants pay around S35 1
The local authority for S35 1 is Sheffield, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £922 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Set against the £245,200 median sold price, £922 a month is £11,064 a year, a gross yield of 4.5%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
The shape of the S35 1 market
This is a thin market: 45 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 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.

How much did a house sell for in S35 1 (Chapeltown)?
Are property prices falling in S35 1 (Chapeltown)?

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 23% over five years in cash but down 3% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £210,000 | £230,000 (+10%) | £280,000 (+22%) | £357,000 (+27%) | £475,995 (+33%) |
| Semi-detached | £160,000 | £170,000 (+6%) | £190,000 (+12%) | £249,995 (+32%) | £350,000 (+40%) |

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
