In cash terms the typical SL5 home went from £117,000 in 1995 to £560,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 120%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 34% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SL5 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 2000 (+25.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−13.8%). 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 detached houses dominate the record here, 38% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £1,000,000 against £288,000 for a flat, 3.5 times the price.

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
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 268 sales completed in SL5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 592 sales a year before the financial crisis and 363 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 SL5
SL5 falls under Windsor and Maidenhead, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,818 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,257 a month here against £2,725 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Windsor and Maidenhead
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £560,000 median sold price, £1,818 a month is £21,816 a year, a gross yield of 3.9%: 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 SL5 market
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.
SL5 (Sunninghill): the questions that come up
How much did a house sell for in SL5 (Sunninghill)?
Are property prices falling in SL5 (Sunninghill)?
Is SL5 (Sunninghill) a good place to buy a house?
Where do SL5 prices go next?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is down 8% over five years in cash but down 27% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
SL5's current homes for sale

20% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. 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
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SL area, from the Land Registry record. 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%) | — |
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.
