In cash terms the typical SN5 7 home went from £44,000 in 1995 to £220,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 130%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2018. The market now sits about 20% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SN5 7 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 2017 (+40.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−16.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.5% | −5.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.8% | −1.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.5% | +1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.3% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
SN5 7 recorded 31 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 137 sales a year before the financial crisis and 58 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.
Rents around SN5 7
The local authority for SN5 7 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.
Set against the £220,000 median sold price, £1,089 a month is £13,068 a year, a gross yield of 5.9%: 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.
Reading the SN5 7 market
This is a thin market: 31 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the SN5 district median, SN5 7 sits 19% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 20% over five years in cash but down 5% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: SN prices by size
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%) |
| Terraced | £217,000 | £245,000 (+13%) | £284,000 (+16%) | £350,000 (+23%) | £526,000 (+50%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
