In cash terms the typical S73 9 home went from £46,000 in 1995 to £150,000 in 2026, roughly 3.3 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 50%, 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 18% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the S73 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 (+54.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−35.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What S73 9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.3% | −8.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.8% | −3.8% |
| 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.
Sales activity in S73 9
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 26 S73 9 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 129 sales a year before the financial crisis and 76 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 kind of market S73 9 is
This is a thin market: 26 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. 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. Within S73, this sector trades 9% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What tenants pay around S73 9
S73 9 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 £150,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.4%. 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
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the S area. 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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
