In cash terms the typical S74 0 home went from £32,000 in 1995 to £175,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 152%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 17% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the S74 0 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 1997 (+58.1% on the year before); the weakest, 1998 (−20.6%). 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) | +7.7% | +5.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.7% | +0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.2% | +2.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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
Sales per year, counted
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, 25 sales completed in S74 0. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 138 sales a year before the financial crisis and 80 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.
Reading the S74 0 market
This is a thin market: 25 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.
The rental side of S74 0
The local authority for S74 0 is Barnsley, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £678 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £494 a month here against £1,061 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Barnsley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £175,000 median sold price, £678 a month is £8,136 a year, a gross yield of 4.6%: 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: S prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the S area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
