Burnham market report SL1 5, Slough
The SL1 5 (Burnham) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 7,444 sales registered with HM Land Registry in SL1 5 (Slough) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 51 registered 2026 sales put the SL1 5 (Slough) median at £416,500, up 9% on five years earlier, with a mean of £412,300, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £5,060 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 7,444 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
SL1 5 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SL1 (Slough). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical SL1 5 home went from £65,000 in 1995 to £416,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 195%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 14% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SL1 5 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 1997 (+27.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.4% | −2.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +1.0% |
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.
How many homes change hands in SL1 5
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 51 sales completed in SL1 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 335 sales a year before the financial crisis and 113 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.
The rental side of SL1 5
SL1 5 falls under Slough, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,575 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,148 a month here against £2,457 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Slough
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £416,500 median sold price, £1,575 a month is £18,900 a year, a gross yield of 4.5%: 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.
How SL1 5 trades
This is a thin market: 51 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in SL
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SL area, 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.
| 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

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.
