In cash terms the typical SN4 home went from £69,000 in 1995 to £318,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 112%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 17% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SN4 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 (+23.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SN4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −2.2% | −4.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +2.8% | −1.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 35% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £525,000 against £148,000 for a flat, 3.5 times the price.

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.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
SN4 recorded 351 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 557 sales a year before the financial crisis and 397 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
The local authority for SN4 is Wiltshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,064 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £736 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,711, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Wiltshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £318,000 median sold price, £1,064 a month is £12,768 a year, a gross yield of 4.0%: 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.

When homes in SN4 change hands
March is when SN4 changes hands most (10.5% of the 2,349 sales dated 2021 to 2025); April is the quiet end at 6.5%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.

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. 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 | £298,500 | £320,000 (+7%) | £370,000 (+16%) | £460,000 (+24%) | £610,000 (+33%) |
| Semi-detached | £230,000 | £266,500 (+16%) | £302,000 (+13%) | £356,000 (+18%) | £425,000 (+19%) |
| Terraced | £195,000 | £230,000 (+18%) | £255,000 (+11%) | £315,000 (+24%) | £370,000 (+17%) |
