In cash terms the typical SN4 0 home went from £82,000 in 1995 to £321,500 in 2026, roughly 3.9 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 80%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 38% below that. Someone who bought at the 2017 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SN4 0 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 (+37.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−23.9%). 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) | −23.9% | −25.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.0% | −6.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.4% | −3.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.3% | −1.5% |
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.
How many homes change hands in SN4 0
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.
The register shows 38 SN4 0 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 133 sales a year before the financial crisis and 105 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around SN4 0
The local authority for SN4 0 is Swindon, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,089 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £814 a month here against £1,648 for four or more bedrooms.
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 £321,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.1%. 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.
What kind of market SN4 0 is
Only 38 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SN4 0 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.

Moving up a bedroom in SN: the cost
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%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
