Swindon market report SN
The standing SN (Swindon) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Everything below comes from 283,115 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in the SN postcode area (Swindon) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.
Sales data to July 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.
In short: 2,658 registered 2026 sales put the the SN postcode area (Swindon) median at £300,000, up 7% on five years earlier, with a mean of £334,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,490 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 283,115 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
SN is the postcode area centred on Swindon, taking in 18 districts. Figures this wide smooth over big local differences, so use the district reports below for anywhere specific.

Today's SN prices, from the sold record
The SN median stands at £300,000 for 2026, built from 2,658 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £334,000, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.
SN prices by floor area
A square metre of SN home has cost about £3,490 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.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts SN 5% above the country at large.

In cash terms the typical SN home went from £58,500 in 1995 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 136%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 16% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SN 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 (+17.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−3.2%). 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) | −3.2% | −5.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 33% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £448,400 against £150,000 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
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 last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 6,030 sales completed in SN. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 11,083 sales a year before the financial crisis and 6,795 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.
The rental side of SN
SN falls under Wiltshire, the local authority covering most of the SN area (parts fall under Swindon and Vale of White Horse, where rents differ), where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,064 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £736 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,711 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Wiltshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,064 a month is £12,768 a year, which against the £300,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.3%. 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.

Is SN (Swindon) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in SN (Swindon)?
Are property prices falling in SN (Swindon)?
Are SN prices heading up or down?
No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is up 7% over five years in cash but down 15% after inflation.

What another bedroom costs in SN
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SN area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £330,000 | £440,000 (+33%) | £640,000 (+45%) | £897,500 (+40%) |
| Semi-detached | £240,000 | £281,250 (+17%) | £330,000 (+17%) | £417,000 (+26%) | £650,000 (+56%) |
| Terraced | £217,000 | £245,000 (+13%) | £284,000 (+16%) | £350,000 (+23%) | £526,000 (+50%) |
| Flat | £140,000 | £170,000 (+21%) | £298,000 (+75%) | — | — |
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.
