Braithwell market report S66 3, Rotherham

The standing S66 3 (Braithwell) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Everything below comes from 3,950 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in S66 3 (Rotherham) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.

Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.

In short: the 2026 median for S66 3 (Rotherham) is £235,000, from 37 registered sales, up 19% on five years earlier; the mean is £242,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,590 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 3,950 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.

S66 3 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside S66 (Rotherham). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

The going rate for a home in S66 3

In the S66 3 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £235,000, from 37 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £242,200, sitting almost on top of it, so sales bunch tightly around the typical price.

S66 3 prices by floor area

Per square metre, S66 3 homes have averaged around £2,590 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.

Set against the £285,000 England and Wales median, S66 3 sits 18% below the national market.

In cash terms the typical S66 3 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £235,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 170%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2006, and today's median remains roughly 16% under it: a 2006 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.

The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+31.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−13.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Annualised returns

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

Over the last twelve months of data, 37 sales completed in S66 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 226 sales a year before the financial crisis and 74 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.

Reading the S66 3 market

This is a thin market: 37 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. 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. Within S66, this sector trades 18% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

The rental side of S66 3

For renting purposes S66 3 sits in Rotherham. The ONS average private rent there is £679 a month (May 2026). 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.

£679 a month is £8,148 a year, which against the £235,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.5%. 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.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
