In cash terms the typical SR4 6 home went from £28,500 in 1995 to £110,800 in 2026, roughly 3.9 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 79%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 24% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SR4 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 2004 (+46.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−17.6%). 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) | +1.5% | −0.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +8.1% | +3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.7% | −1.0% |
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
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 40 SR4 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 212 sales a year before the financial crisis and 74 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
Reading the SR4 6 market
This is a thin market: 40 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 SR4 district median, SR4 6 sits 20% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around SR4 6
SR4 6 falls under Sunderland, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £701 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £519 a month here against £1,073 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Sunderland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £110,800 median sold price, £701 a month is £8,412 a year, a gross yield of 7.6%: 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.

SR4's current homes for sale
This is what you could actually buy today: 46 homes currently on the market from 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SR4 district, not just SR4 6: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 18% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
- Westfield Grove, High Barnes, Sunderland

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.
Moving up a bedroom in SR: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the SR area, straight 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.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
