In cash terms the typical S72 7 home went from £20,500 in 1995 to £152,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 242%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2006, and today's median remains roughly 26% under it: a 2006 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the S72 7 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 (+81.4% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−46.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What S72 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.7% | −0.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.1% | −0.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +7.8% | +4.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.3% | −1.5% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
The register shows 32 S72 7 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 73 sales a year before the financial crisis and 55 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.
The rental side of S72 7
For renting purposes S72 7 sits in Barnsley. The ONS average private rent there is £678 a month (May 2026). 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.
Set against the £152,500 median sold price, £678 a month is £8,136 a year, a gross yield of 5.3%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
How S72 7 trades
Only 32 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes S72 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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 S72, this sector trades 8% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

What another bedroom costs 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £235,000 | £330,000 (+40%) | £495,000 (+50%) | £750,000 (+52%) |
