In cash terms the typical S81 8 home went from £65,000 in 1995 to £281,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 99%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 20% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the S81 8 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 2002 (+28.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−17.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What S81 8 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.0% | +3.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.9% | −3.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.8% | +1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
How many homes change hands in S81 8
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 44 sales completed in S81 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 199 sales a year before the financial crisis and 146 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.
Rents around S81 8
The local authority for S81 8 is Bassetlaw, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £718 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £497 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,121, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Bassetlaw
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £281,000 median sold price, £718 a month is £8,616 a year, a gross yield of 3.1%: 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.
Reading the S81 8 market
Only 44 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes S81 8 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 S81, this sector trades 27% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

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. 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.

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
