In cash terms the typical S71 4 home went from £39,500 in 1995 to £182,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 113%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 18% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the S71 4 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 (+47.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−22.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.8% | +0.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.0% | −2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in S71 4
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 68 sales completed in S71 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 193 sales a year before the financial crisis and 138 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.
What tenants pay around S71 4
S71 4 falls under Barnsley, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £678 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £494 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,061 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Barnsley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£678 a month is £8,136 a year, which against the £182,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.5%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in S: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the S area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
