In cash terms the typical SL6 1 home went from £80,500 in 1995 to £358,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 105%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2016; the current median sits about 40% below that. Someone who bought at the 2016 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SL6 1 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 (+55.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−14.8%). 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) | −11.2% | −13.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.6% | −6.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.8% | −5.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.7% |
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
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 33 SL6 1 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 129 sales a year recently, against 123 a year before 2008. 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.
The rental side of SL6 1
The local authority for SL6 1 is Windsor and Maidenhead, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £358,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,818 a month (£21,816 a year) works out at a 6.1% 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 kind of market SL6 1 is
This is a thin market: 33 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 record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the SL6 district median, SL6 1 sits 28% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

What is for sale in SL6 right now

Bedroom by bedroom: SL prices by size
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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
