SL2 5 sold prices: where the market stands
In the SL2 5 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £446,000, from 23 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £417,200, sitting beneath it, usually the sign of a batch of very cheap recorded transfers pulling the average lower.
Price per square metre in SL2 5
The last five years of sales put SL2 5 at roughly £4,850 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so SL2 5 trades 56% above the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical SL2 5 home went from £55,500 in 1995 to £446,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 270%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 5% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SL2 5 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 (+44.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.9%). 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) | +7.9% | +5.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.8% | −1.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.2% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.3% | +1.5% |
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.
Sales activity in SL2 5
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 23 SL2 5 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 283 sales a year before the financial crisis and 74 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 shape of the SL2 5 market
Only 23 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SL2 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
The rental side of SL2 5
SL2 5 falls under Slough, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Against the £446,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,575 a month (£18,900 a year) works out at a 4.2% 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.

What you could buy in SL2 now
This is what you could actually buy today: 84 homes currently on the market from 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SL2 district, not just SL2 5: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 18% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
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.

The price of an extra bedroom in SL
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SL area, 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £535,000 | £732,500 (+37%) | £1,050,000 (+43%) | £1,488,750 (+42%) |

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.

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.
