| 1995 | £110,000 | £239,123 | 125 |
In cash terms the typical SL6 8 home went from £110,000 in 1995 to £520,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 117%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 21% below that. Someone who bought at the 2017 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SL6 8 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 1997 (+29.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−23.6%). 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) | +2.4% | 0.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.0% | −0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
SL6 8 recorded 39 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 161 sales a year before the financial crisis and 115 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.
Reading the SL6 8 market
This is a thin market: 39 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.
What tenants pay around SL6 8
For renting purposes SL6 8 sits in Windsor and Maidenhead. The ONS average private rent there is £1,818 a month (May 2026). 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.
£1,818 a month is £21,816 a year, which against the £520,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.2%. 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in SL
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SL area. 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.
