In cash terms the typical S72 9 home went from £43,000 in 1995 to £230,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 146%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2023, and today's median remains roughly 16% under it: a 2023 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the S72 9 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 2003 (+67.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−19.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +7.0% | +4.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.4% | +0.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.2% | +1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 19 sales completed in S72 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 88 sales a year before the financial crisis and 54 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.
What kind of market S72 9 is
This is a thin market: 19 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. Against the S72 district median, S72 9 sits 39% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
Rents around S72 9
For renting purposes S72 9 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.
£678 a month is £8,136 a year, which against the £230,000 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: S prices by size
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.
| 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%) |

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.
