Burnham market report SL1 2, Slough
The SL1 2 (Burnham) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Everything below comes from 6,330 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in SL1 2 (Slough) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: the 2026 median for SL1 2 (Slough) is £302,500, from 34 registered sales, up 8% on five years earlier; the mean is £307,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,330 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 6,330 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
A postcode sector like SL1 2 is a single group of streets within SL1 (Slough), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

34 sales were registered in SL1 2 in 2026, and the middle one of them, the median, went for £302,500. The mean works out at £307,000, almost on top of it, so sales bunch tightly around the typical price.
What a square metre costs in SL1 2
The last five years of sales put SL1 2 at roughly £4,330 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.

The price of a typical SL1 2 home, 1995 to 2026
Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

| 1995 | £53,000 | £115,214 | 185 |
In cash terms the typical SL1 2 home went from £53,000 in 1995 to £302,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 163%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 31% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SL1 2 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 2017 (+30.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.4%). 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) | −7.5% | −9.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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 SL1 2
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 34 SL1 2 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 332 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.
What tenants pay around SL1 2
For renting purposes SL1 2 sits in Slough. The ONS average private rent there is £1,575 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £1,148 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,457, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Slough
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £302,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,575 a month (£18,900 a year) works out at a 6.2% 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.
Reading the SL1 2 market
Only 34 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SL1 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within SL1, this sector trades 25% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

What is for sale in SL1 right now
The live side of the market holds 93 homes at the moment, listed by 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex.

Of everything listed here, 27% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.

Bedroom by bedroom: SL prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SL area, 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 | — | £535,000 | £732,500 (+37%) | £1,050,000 (+43%) | £1,488,750 (+42%) |
| Semi-detached | £360,000 | £450,000 (+25%) | £550,000 (+22%) | £717,000 (+30%) | £937,500 (+31%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
