Water Oakley market report SL4 3, Windsor

The standing SL4 3 (Water Oakley) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 6,498 sales registered with HM Land Registry in SL4 3 (Windsor) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.

In short: the 2026 median for SL4 3 (Windsor) is £431,000, from 46 registered sales, down 8% on five years earlier; the mean is £541,300, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £5,810 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 6,498 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.

A postcode sector like SL4 3 is a single group of streets within SL4 (Windsor), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

What a home in SL4 3 sells for

The SL4 3 median stands at £431,000 for 2026, built from 46 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £541,300, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.

SL4 3 prices by floor area

Per square metre, SL4 3 homes have averaged around £5,810 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.

The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts SL4 3 51% above the country at large.

In cash terms the typical SL4 3 home went from £88,200 in 1995 to £431,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 125%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 39% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 1997 (+28.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2021 (−14.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

The long view: annualised growth

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.

The turnover behind the prices

Over the last twelve months of data, 46 sales completed in SL4 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 279 sales a year before the financial crisis and 136 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.

The rental side of SL4 3

For renting purposes SL4 3 sits in Windsor and Maidenhead. The ONS average private rent there is £1,818 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £1,257 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,725 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.

£1,818 a month is £21,816 a year, which against the £431,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.1%. 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.

How SL4 3 trades

Only 46 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SL4 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the SL4 district median, SL4 3 sits 15% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

What people ask about SL4 3 (Water Oakley)

Are SL4 3 prices heading up or down?

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.
