In cash terms the typical SL6 2 home went from £96,500 in 1995 to £448,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 114%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2019, and today's median remains roughly 32% under it: a 2019 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SL6 2 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 2024 (+21.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−27.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −27.1% | −28.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.6% | −6.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.6% | −2.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Sales activity in SL6 2
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 50 sales completed in SL6 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 223 sales a year before the financial crisis and 124 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.
Rents around SL6 2
SL6 2 falls under Windsor and Maidenhead, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,818 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,257 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,725, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Windsor and Maidenhead
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £448,500 median sold price, £1,818 a month is £21,816 a year, a gross yield of 4.9%: 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.
What kind of market SL6 2 is
This is a thin market: 50 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 2 sits 10% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Where do SL6 2 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.

What is for sale in SL6 right now
This is what you could actually buy today: 338 homes currently on the market from 9 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SL6 district, not just SL6 2: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 20% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in SL: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SL area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
