In cash terms the typical S36 9 home went from £42,000 in 1995 to £245,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 168%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2010. The market now sits about 28% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the S36 9 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 (+62.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−20.6%). 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 years (since 2025) | −2.0% | −4.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.4% | −5.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.9% | −2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
S36 9 recorded 16 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 59 sales a year recently, against 65 a year before 2008. 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 rental side of S36 9
For renting purposes S36 9 sits in Barnsley. The ONS average private rent there is £678 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £494 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,061, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Barnsley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £245,000 median purchase price, a rent of £678 a month (£8,136 a year) works out at a 3.3% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
The shape of the S36 9 market
This is a thin market: 16 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. Against the S36 district median, S36 9 sits 20% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Bedroom by bedroom: S prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the S area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
