The SL1 8 (Burnham) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. The raw material for this page is 1,846 HM Land Registry entries for SL1 8 (Slough), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 19 registered 2026 sales put the SL1 8 (Slough) median at £825,000, up 33% on five years earlier, with a mean of £818,600, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £5,460 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 1,846 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
SL1 8 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 8 home went from £132,000 in 1995 to £825,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 188%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2016. The market now sits about 7% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SL1 8 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 2010 (+67.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−44.4%). 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) | +42.2% | +38.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.9% | +1.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +5.2% | +2.3% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
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.
The register shows 19 SL1 8 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 68 sales a year before the financial crisis and 45 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.
The rental side of SL1 8
For renting purposes SL1 8 sits in Buckinghamshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,477 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £1,036 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,364, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £825,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.1%. 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.
The shape of the SL1 8 market
Only 19 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SL1 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within SL1, this sector trades 104% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Will SL1 8 prices rise from here?

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.
These cover the whole SL1 district, not just SL1 8: live asking prices are collected per district.
27% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
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.

Bedroom by bedroom: SL prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SL area. 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.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
