Blyth market report S81, Worksop
The S81 (Blyth) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Everything below comes from 21,047 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in S81 (Worksop) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.
Sales recorded to July 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 205 registered 2026 sales put the S81 (Worksop) median at £222,000, up 8% on five years earlier, with a mean of £240,300, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,380 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 21,047 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
S81 is a postcode district covering Worksop (north), Blyth, Carlton-in-Lindrick in Worksop. It is the most useful size for market figures: tight enough to describe somewhere real, large enough that sales keep coming and the medians hold steady.

In cash terms the typical S81 home went from £45,900 in 1995 to £222,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 122%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 21% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the S81 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 (+25.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−8.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 44% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £291,500 against £100,000 for a flat, 2.9 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.8% | −0.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.2% | +1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 507 S81 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 846 sales a year before the financial crisis and 616 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.
The shape of the S81 market
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 S81
The local authority for S81 is Bassetlaw, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £718 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £497 a month here against £1,121 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Bassetlaw
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£718 a month is £8,616 a year, which against the £222,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.9%. 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. 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%) |

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.
