In cash terms the typical SN26 home went from £76,000 in 1995 to £390,000 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. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 28% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SN26 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 1998 (+50.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−31.6%). 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) | −4.9% | −7.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.8% | −6.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.1% | −2.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 71% of the typed total.

The turnover behind the prices
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.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
SN26 recorded 29 sales in the last twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 57 sales a year over the last five years against 26 before the financial crisis. 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 kind of market SN26 is
Only 29 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SN26 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. SN26 sits 3 of 18 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
The rental side of SN26
For renting purposes SN26 sits in Swindon. The ONS average private rent there is £1,089 a month (May 2026). 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.
Set against the £390,000 median sold price, £1,089 a month is £13,068 a year, a gross yield of 3.4%: 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.

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.
