In cash terms the typical SN6 7 home went from £51,500 in 1995 to £243,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 117%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 33% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SN6 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 2001 (+21.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−21.0%). 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) | −21.0% | −22.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.3% | −5.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.6% | −2.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.9% |
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
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.
SN6 7 recorded 43 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 204 sales a year before the financial crisis and 123 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 SN6 7
The local authority for SN6 7 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.
Against the £243,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,089 a month (£13,068 a year) works out at a 5.4% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
What kind of market SN6 7 is
This is a thin market: 43 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 SN6 district median, SN6 7 sits 30% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Moving up a bedroom in SN: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SN area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
