| 1996 | £93,500 | £197,187 | 392 |
| 1995 | £86,800 | £188,690 | 338 |
In cash terms the typical SP5 home went from £86,800 in 1995 to £473,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 151%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2023, and today's median remains roughly 20% under it: a 2023 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SP5 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 2000 (+25.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.8% | −0.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.0% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 62% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £566,200 against £145,000 for a flat, 3.9 times the price.

Sales activity in SP5
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 last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 223 SP5 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 377 sales a year before the financial crisis and 228 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.
What kind of market SP5 is
SP5 is currently the dearest district of its postcode area by median price.
What tenants pay around SP5
The local authority for SP5 is Wiltshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,064 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £736 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,711, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Wiltshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £473,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,064 a month (£12,768 a year) works out at a 2.7% 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.

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.

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.
What another bedroom costs in SP
Real sold prices by size across the SP area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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 | — | £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%) |

| Flat | £145,000 | £190,000 (+31%) | £330,000 (+74%) | — | — |
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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
