In cash terms the typical SN16 9 home went from £88,500 in 1995 to £390,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 103%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2018; the current median sits about 26% below that. Someone who bought at the 2018 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SN16 9 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 1999 (+28.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−17.2%). 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) | −14.1% | −16.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.3% | −4.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.7% | −1.1% |
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.
How many homes change hands in SN16 9
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
SN16 9 recorded 35 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 154 sales a year before the financial crisis and 106 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
Rents around SN16 9
The local authority for SN16 9 is Wiltshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,064 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £736 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,711, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Wiltshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £390,000 median sold price, £1,064 a month is £12,768 a year, a gross yield of 3.3%: 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.
Reading the SN16 9 market
Only 35 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SN16 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

14% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.

The price of an extra bedroom in SN
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SN area, from the Land Registry record. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £330,000 | £440,000 (+33%) | £640,000 (+45%) | £897,500 (+40%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
