Britwell market report SL2, Slough
The standing SL2 (Britwell) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 20,693 registered sales in SL2 (Slough) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to July 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: the middle 2026 sale in SL2 (Slough) came in at £435,000, out of 135 registered, up 16% on five years earlier, and the mean stands at £550,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £5,110 per square metre over the last five years. The record behind it is 20,693 completed sales lodged with HM Land Registry since 1995, monthly refreshed, with no valuations or asking prices anywhere in the figures.
SL2 is the postcode district covering Britwell, Farnham Common, Farnham Royal in Slough. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

Today's SL2 prices, from the sold record
In the SL2 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £435,000, from 135 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £550,000, sitting well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
What a square metre costs in SL2
Measured by floor area, the last five years of SL2 sales average about £5,110 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.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts SL2 53% above the country at large.
SL2's median sold price, 1995 to 2026
Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical SL2 home went from £58,000 in 1995 to £435,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 245%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2018. The market now sits about 10% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SL2 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 (+22.6% 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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 33% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £900,000 against £262,500 for a flat, 3.4 times the price.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.7% | −1.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.0% | −1.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.4% | +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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 300 SL2 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 972 sales a year before the financial crisis and 345 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 homes rent for around SL2
The local authority for SL2 is Slough, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,575 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,148 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,457, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Slough
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £435,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,575 a month (£18,900 a year) works out at a 4.3% 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.

No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is up 16% over five years in cash but down 8% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.
What is for sale in SL2 right now
Everything above is what homes in SL2 sold for. The live side of the market holds 84 homes at the moment, listed by 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 22% above the SL2 median sold price.
18% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. 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.

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.
| 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%) |
| Semi-detached | £360,000 | £450,000 (+25%) | £550,000 (+22%) | £717,000 (+30%) | £937,500 (+31%) |
| Terraced | £360,000 | £418,000 (+16%) | £480,000 (+15%) | £680,000 (+42%) | £1,010,000 (+49%) |
| Flat | £242,500 | £332,500 (+37%) | £562,500 (+69%) | £1,000,000 (+78%) | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
