In cash terms the typical SN5 5 home went from £64,500 in 1995 to £266,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 90%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 22% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SN5 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 2002 (+22.2% on the year before); the weakest, 1997 (−9.6%). 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) | −2.4% | −4.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.3% | −4.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
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, 62 sales completed in SN5 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 291 sales a year before the financial crisis and 124 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 homes rent for around SN5 5
For renting purposes SN5 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.
£1,089 a month is £13,068 a year, which against the £266,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.9%. 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 is for sale in SN5 right now
This is what you could actually buy today: 183 homes currently on the market from 5 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SN5 district, not just SN5 5: live asking prices are collected per district.
52% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

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

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
