Burnham market report SL1 3, Slough
The standing SL1 3 (Burnham) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month.

There are no valuations, estimates or asking prices in it.
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 3 (Slough) is £400,000, from 30 registered sales, up 25% on five years earlier; the mean is £403,800, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £5,060 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 5,516 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 3 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.

In cash terms the typical SL1 3 home went from £54,400 in 1995 to £400,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 238%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2019, and today's median remains roughly 5% under it: a 2019 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SL1 3 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 (+20.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.8% | −0.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.6% | −0.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.8% | +1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.1% | +1.2% |
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 3
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
SL1 3 recorded 30 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 303 sales a year before the financial crisis and 109 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.
Reading the SL1 3 market
Only 30 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SL1 3 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.
The rental side of SL1 3
The local authority for SL1 3 is Slough, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,575 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £400,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,575 a month (£18,900 a year) works out at a 4.7% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: SL prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the SL area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
