In cash terms the typical SN5 6 home went from £70,000 in 1995 to £251,000 in 2026, roughly 3.6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 65%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2015, and today's median remains roughly 26% under it: a 2015 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SN5 6 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 2015 (+41.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−17.7%). 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) | −17.7% | −19.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.2% | −4.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
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.
The register shows 24 SN5 6 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 158 sales a year before the financial crisis and 59 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market SN5 6 is
This is a thin market: 24 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.
The rental side of SN5 6
The local authority for SN5 6 is Swindon, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,089 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £814 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,648 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
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 £251,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.2%. 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 happens to SN5 6 prices now?

SN5's current homes for sale
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 6: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 52% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
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.

What another bedroom costs in SN
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SN area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
| 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.
