In cash terms the typical SG8 6 home went from £83,200 in 1995 to £424,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 135%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 29% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SG8 6 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 2000 (+32.6% on the year before); the weakest, 1999 (−13.6%). 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 year (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.5% | −5.1% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | −1.3% | −5.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.5% | −1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Sales activity in SG8 6
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.
SG8 6 recorded 56 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 106 sales a year recently, against 130 a year before 2008. 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 tenants pay around SG8 6
For renting purposes SG8 6 sits in South Cambridgeshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,407 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £1,009 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,149 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, South Cambridgeshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £424,800 median purchase price, a rent of £1,407 a month (£16,884 a year) works out at a 4.0% 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.
How SG8 6 trades
This is a thin market: 56 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 SG8, this sector trades 8% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

The price of an extra bedroom in SG
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SG 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.
