Today's S60 prices, from the sold record

House prices per square metre in S60
Measured by floor area, the last five years of S60 sales average about £2,490 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, S60 runs 29% below it.

In cash terms the typical S60 home went from £43,000 in 1995 to £203,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 117%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 18% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the S60 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 (+29.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−15.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
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 £369,000 against £125,000 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

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.
Sales activity in S60
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 483 sales completed in S60. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 575 sales a year recently, against 685 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.
Reading the S60 market
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.
What tenants pay around S60
S60 falls under Rotherham, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £679 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £483 a month here against £1,065 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Rotherham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £203,000 median sold price, £679 a month is £8,148 a year, a gross yield of 4.0%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in S: the cost
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 | — | £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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
