S74 9 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside S74 (Barnsley). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical S74 9 home went from £38,200 in 1995 to £170,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 105%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2024; the current median sits about 6% below that. Someone who bought at the 2024 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the S74 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 2004 (+40.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−21.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What S74 9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +4.9% | +2.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.0% | −0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
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.
The register shows 31 S74 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 88 sales a year before the financial crisis and 67 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.
How S74 9 trades
Only 31 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes S74 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.
What tenants pay around S74 9
For renting purposes S74 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.
Against the £170,000 median purchase price, a rent of £678 a month (£8,136 a year) works out at a 4.8% 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 price of an extra bedroom in S
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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
