SP5 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SP5 (Salisbury). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical SP5 1 home went from £90,000 in 1995 to £520,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 166%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2008, and today's median remains roughly 20% under it: a 2008 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SP5 1 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 2003 (+31.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2004 (−23.1%). 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) | −9.6% | −11.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.2% | −3.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
SP5 1 recorded 19 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 74 sales a year before the financial crisis and 41 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 SP5 1
SP5 1 falls under Wiltshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,064 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £736 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,711 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Wiltshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £520,000 median sold price, £1,064 a month is £12,768 a year, a gross yield of 2.5%: 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.
How SP5 1 trades
Only 19 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SP5 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within SP5, this sector trades 10% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Moving up a bedroom in SP: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SP area. 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 | — | £345,000 | £450,000 (+30%) | £668,750 (+49%) | £982,500 (+47%) |
| Semi-detached | £245,000 | £295,000 (+20%) | £344,997 (+17%) | £450,500 (+31%) | £625,000 (+39%) |

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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
