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 middle 2026 sale in S66 8 (Rotherham) came in at £210,000, out of 45 registered, up 17% on five years earlier, and the mean stands at £214,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,270 per square metre over the last five years. The record behind it is 4,974 completed sales lodged with HM Land Registry since 1995, monthly refreshed, with no valuations or asking prices anywhere in the figures.

S66 8 is one sector of S66 (Rotherham): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

What a home in S66 8 sells for

Across 45 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) S66 8 home went for £210,000. The mean is £214,000, almost on top of it, so sales bunch tightly around the typical price.

House prices per square metre in S66 8

Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in S66 8 costs about £2,270 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.

Set against the £285,000 England and Wales median, S66 8 sits 26% below the national market.

In cash terms the typical S66 8 home went from £53,500 in 1995 to £210,000 in 2026, roughly 3.9 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 81%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 8% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+28.6% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−7.5%). 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.

Transaction volumes

The register shows 45 S66 8 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 206 sales a year before the financial crisis and 114 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 S66 8

For renting purposes S66 8 sits in Rotherham. The ONS average private rent there is £679 a month (May 2026). 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.

Against the £210,000 median purchase price, a rent of £679 a month (£8,148 a year) works out at a 3.9% 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.

What kind of market S66 8 is

Only 45 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes S66 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

Common questions on S66 8 (Braithwell)

Will S66 8 prices rise from here?

The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is up 17% over five years in cash but down 8% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.
