SL1 6 is one sector of SL1 (Slough): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

SL1 6 prices by floor area

In cash terms the typical SL1 6 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £422,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 224%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2023. The market now sits about 10% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SL1 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 2016 (+32.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−15.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SL1 6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +9.0% | +6.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.7% | −1.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.5% | +1.7% |
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 6
How many homes change hands
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 28 sales completed in SL1 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 198 sales a year before the financial crisis and 70 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 kind of market SL1 6 is
This is a thin market: 28 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.
The rental side of SL1 6
For renting purposes SL1 6 sits in Slough. The ONS average private rent there is £1,575 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £1,148 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,457 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Slough
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £422,500 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.

Are property prices falling in SL1 6 (Burnham)?
Is SL1 6 (Burnham) a good place to buy a house?
Will SL1 6 prices rise from here?

SL1's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 93 homes at the moment, listed by 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SL1 district, not just SL1 6: live asking prices are collected per district.
27% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Moving up a bedroom in SL: the cost
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%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
