The postcode district SN2 sits in Swindon. A district is the workhorse unit for reading a market: local enough to be meaningful, busy enough that the medians rest on a steady flow of sales.

In cash terms the typical SN2 home went from £46,500 in 1995 to £240,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 137%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 11% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SN2 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 (+20.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 53% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £360,000 against £141,000 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.6% | −5.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.7% | −1.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Sales activity in SN2
The year-by-year sales count
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
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 423 SN2 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 996 sales a year before the financial crisis and 474 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.
The shape of the SN2 market
Among the 18 measurable districts of its area, SN2 ranks 17 by median price: towards the affordable end.
What tenants pay around SN2
The local authority for SN2 is Swindon, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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 £240,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,089 a month (£13,068 a year) works out at a 5.4% 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.

Where do SN2 prices go next?
The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is up 20% over five years in cash but down 5% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.
What you could buy in SN2 now
Everything above is what homes in SN2 sold for. The live side of the market holds 180 homes at the moment, listed by 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price level with the SN2 median sold price.
Of everything listed here, 26% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
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.

Bedroom by bedroom: SN prices by size
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.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
