SL1 7 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 7 home went from £76,000 in 1995 to £452,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 174%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2018, and today's median remains roughly 24% under it: a 2018 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SL1 7 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 (+27.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−20.3%). 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) | −20.3% | −22.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.1% | −4.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.8% | −2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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, 25 sales completed in SL1 7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 111 sales a year before the financial crisis and 49 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 7 is
Only 25 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SL1 7 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. Within SL1, this sector trades 12% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
Rents around SL1 7
SL1 7 falls under Buckinghamshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,477 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,036 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,364 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Buckinghamshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,477 a month is £17,724 a year, which against the £452,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.9%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

Moving up a bedroom in SL: the cost
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.
