In cash terms the typical S71 5 home went from £40,800 in 1995 to £195,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 120%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 14% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the S71 5 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 (+33.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.2%). 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) | +7.1% | +4.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.1% | +0.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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.
How many homes change hands in S71 5
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
S71 5 recorded 41 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 139 sales a year before the financial crisis and 100 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 S71 5
The local authority for S71 5 is Barnsley, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £678 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £494 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,061, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Barnsley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £195,000 median purchase price, a rent of £678 a month (£8,136 a year) works out at a 4.2% 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 shape of the S71 5 market
Only 41 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes S71 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

The price of an extra bedroom in S
What homes of each size actually sold for across the S area, 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.
| 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%) |
| Terraced | £132,000 | £140,000 (+6%) | £175,000 (+25%) | £256,500 (+47%) | £350,000 (+36%) |
| Flat | £120,000 | £148,000 (+23%) | £265,000 (+79%) | £461,750 (+74%) | — |
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.
The risers and the fallers

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.
