| 1995 | £57,000 | £123,909 | 765 |
In cash terms the typical SN3 home went from £57,000 in 1995 to £295,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 138%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 12% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SN3 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 2002 (+19.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−9.4%). 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) | +1.7% | −0.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.5% | −2.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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 semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 37% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £427,500 against £140,000 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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 last five years, month by month
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
SN3 recorded 638 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 965 sales a year before the financial crisis and 733 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 rental side of SN3
For renting purposes SN3 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.
£1,089 a month is £13,068 a year, which against the £295,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.4%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

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. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £330,000 | £440,000 (+33%) | £640,000 (+45%) | £897,500 (+40%) |
| Semi-detached | £240,000 | £281,250 (+17%) | £330,000 (+17%) | £417,000 (+26%) | £650,000 (+56%) |

| Flat | £140,000 | £170,000 (+21%) | £298,000 (+75%) | — | — |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
