What buyers actually paid in S5
In the S5 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £150,000, from 169 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £162,400, sitting a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.
S5 prices by floor area
The last five years of sales put S5 at roughly £1,980 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, S5 runs 47% below it.

In cash terms the typical S5 home went from £30,000 in 1995 to £150,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 130%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 9% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the S5 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 (+40.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.3%). 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 years (since 2025) | −6.3% | −8.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.9% | −1.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.0% | +1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 52% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £227,500 against £97,000 for a flat, 2.3 times the price.

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.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
S5 recorded 389 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 695 sales a year before the financial crisis and 401 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.
Rents around S5
For renting purposes S5 sits in Sheffield. The ONS average private rent there is £922 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £683 a month here against £1,327 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Sheffield
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£922 a month is £11,064 a year, which against the £150,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 7.4%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in S: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the S area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £235,000 | £330,000 (+40%) | £495,000 (+50%) | £750,000 (+52%) |
| Semi-detached | £160,000 | £175,000 (+9%) | £220,000 (+26%) | £321,000 (+46%) | £550,000 (+71%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
