SN3 5 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SN3 (Swindon). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

SN3 5 prices by floor area

In cash terms the typical SN3 5 home went from £58,000 in 1995 to £277,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 120%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 14% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SN3 5 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 2013 (+23.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−17.6%). 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) | −6.1% | −8.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.7% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.6% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Over the last twelve months of data, 44 sales completed in SN3 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 122 sales a year before the financial crisis and 74 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.
How SN3 5 trades
This is a thin market: 44 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict.
Rents around SN3 5
For renting purposes SN3 5 sits in Swindon. The ONS average private rent there is £1,089 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £814 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,648, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Swindon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £277,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,089 a month (£13,068 a year) works out at a 4.7% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in SN
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SN area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

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