SL2 1 sold prices: where the market stands
Across 27 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) SL2 1 home went for £397,500. The mean is £348,900, beneath it, usually the sign of a batch of very cheap recorded transfers pulling the average lower.
House prices per square metre in SL2 1
Measured by floor area, the last five years of SL2 1 sales average about £4,800 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

In cash terms the typical SL2 1 home went from £47,000 in 1995 to £397,500 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 289%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 5% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SL2 1 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 2003 (+22.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.3%). 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) | +2.3% | −0.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.1% | −0.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.5% | +1.7% |
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
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 27 SL2 1 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 281 sales a year before the financial crisis and 59 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.
What homes rent for around SL2 1
For renting purposes SL2 1 sits in Slough. The ONS average private rent there is £1,575 a month (May 2026). 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.
Against the £397,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,575 a month (£18,900 a year) works out at a 4.8% 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.
Reading the SL2 1 market
Only 27 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SL2 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the SL2 district median, SL2 1 sits 9% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

These cover the whole SL2 district, not just SL2 1: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 18% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

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.
The price of an extra bedroom in SL
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.
| 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%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
