In cash terms the typical SN2 2 home went from £47,000 in 1995 to £221,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 116%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 13% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SN2 2 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 (+23.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SN2 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.5% | −1.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.0% | −2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
Sales activity in SN2 2
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.
SN2 2 recorded 70 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 430 sales a year before the financial crisis and 182 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 SN2 2
SN2 2 falls under Swindon, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,089 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £814 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,648 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Swindon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £221,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,089 a month (£13,068 a year) works out at a 5.9% 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 SN2 2 market
Against the SN2 district median, SN2 2 sits 8% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

On the market in SN2 today
The live side of the market holds 180 homes at the moment, listed by 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SN2 district, not just SN2 2: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 26% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. 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.

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.
