Ecclesfield market report S5 6, Sheffield

The S5 6 (Ecclesfield) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 3,619 sales registered with HM Land Registry in S5 6 (Sheffield) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

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 S5 6 (Sheffield) is £129,000, from 28 registered sales, up 13% on five years earlier; the mean is £132,900, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £1,650 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 3,619 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.

A postcode sector like S5 6 is a single group of streets within S5 (Sheffield), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

Today's S5 6 prices, from the sold record

Take the 28 registered 2026 sales in S5 6 and the middle price, the median, is £129,000. The mean lands at £132,900, almost on top of it, so sales bunch tightly around the typical price.

Price per square metre in S5 6

Measured by floor area, the last five years of S5 6 sales average about £1,650 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, S5 6 runs 55% below it.

In cash terms the typical S5 6 home went from £27,000 in 1995 to £129,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 120%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+53.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2017 (−8.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years

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.

Transaction volumes

The register shows 28 S5 6 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 182 sales a year before the financial crisis and 72 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.

Reading the S5 6 market

Only 28 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes S5 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within S5, this sector trades 14% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

The rental side of S5 6

S5 6 falls under Sheffield, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.

£922 a month is £11,064 a year, which against the £129,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 8.6%. 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 people ask about S5 6 (Ecclesfield)

Are S5 6 prices heading up or down?

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 13% over five years in cash but down 11% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
