In cash terms the typical S66 2 home went from £40,500 in 1995 to £199,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 126%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 6% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the S66 2 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 2002 (+36.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−10.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +4.7% | +2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.8% | −1.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.7% | +0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
S66 2 recorded 43 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 159 sales a year before the financial crisis and 99 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.
The shape of the S66 2 market
Only 43 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes S66 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
The rental side of S66 2
The local authority for S66 2 is Rotherham, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £679 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £483 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,065 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Rotherham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £199,000 median purchase price, a rent of £679 a month (£8,148 a year) works out at a 4.1% 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 price of an extra bedroom in S
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the S area. 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%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

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