Today's SL6 5 prices, from the sold record
The 2026 median for SL6 5 is £572,500, taken from 25 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £668,000, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
SL6 5 prices by floor area
A square metre of SL6 5 home has cost about £5,710 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.

In cash terms the typical SL6 5 home went from £98,000 in 1995 to £572,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 169%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2016; the current median sits about 22% 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 5 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 2001 (+25.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−14.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.0% | −7.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.0% | −1.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.8% | −2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.5% |
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.
Sales activity in SL6 5
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 25 SL6 5 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 105 sales a year before the financial crisis and 61 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 SL6 5
The local authority for SL6 5 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.
Average monthly rent by size, Windsor and Maidenhead
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £572,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,818 a month (£21,816 a year) works out at a 3.8% 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.
Reading the SL6 5 market
Only 25 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SL6 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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 5 sits 14% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
