In cash terms the typical SL6 home went from £92,000 in 1995 to £500,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 150%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 19% 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 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 (+21.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−6.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SL6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.0% | −4.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.8% | −3.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.4% | −1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 29% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £785,000 against £284,000 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
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.
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, 848 sales completed in SL6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,614 sales a year before the financial crisis and 1,054 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 tenants pay around SL6
The local authority for SL6 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.
£1,818 a month is £21,816 a year, which against the £500,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.4%. 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.

Are property prices falling in SL6 (Taplow)?
Is SL6 (Taplow) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in SL6 (Taplow)?

Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is up 4% over five years in cash but down 18% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.
SL6's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in SL6 sold for. This is what you could actually buy today: 338 homes currently on the market from 9 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price level with the SL6 median sold price.
20% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
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.

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.
Bedroom by bedroom: SL prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SL area. 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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
