In cash terms the typical S60 5 home went from £38,100 in 1995 to £191,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 131%: 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 10% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the S60 5 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 (+31.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2014 (−10.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What S60 5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.2% | +0.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.3% | −0.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.4% |
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 year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
S60 5 recorded 78 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 298 sales a year before the financial crisis and 191 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
Rents around S60 5
The local authority for S60 5 is Rotherham, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £679 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £483 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,065, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Rotherham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£679 a month is £8,148 a year, which against the £191,000 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.

Moving up a bedroom in S: the cost
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £235,000 | £330,000 (+40%) | £495,000 (+50%) | £750,000 (+52%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

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