SL2 2 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SL2 (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 SL2 2 home went from £55,500 in 1995 to £405,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 236%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 8% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SL2 2 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 2014 (+30.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.1%). 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) | +3.8% | +1.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.6% | −1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.6% | +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.
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 27 SL2 2 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 170 sales a year before the financial crisis and 68 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 2
The local authority for SL2 2 is Slough, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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 £405,000 median sold price, £1,575 a month is £18,900 a year, a gross yield of 4.7%: 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.
Reading the SL2 2 market
This is a thin market: 27 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
Real sold prices by size across the SL area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

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.
