SY1 2 is one sector of SY1 (Shrewsbury): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

SY1 2 prices by floor area

| 1996 | £44,500 | £93,849 | 165 |
| 1995 | £42,800 | £93,041 | 156 |
In cash terms the typical SY1 2 home went from £42,800 in 1995 to £230,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 147%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 11% 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 SY1 2 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 (+23.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.3%). 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) | +4.5% | +2.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.7% | −1.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 54 SY1 2 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 244 sales a year before the financial crisis and 122 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 homes rent for around SY1 2
For renting purposes SY1 2 sits in Shropshire. The ONS average private rent there is £813 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £600 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,384 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Shropshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £230,000 median purchase price, a rent of £813 a month (£9,756 a year) works out at a 4.2% 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.
Reading the SY1 2 market
This is a thin market: 54 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.

Moving up a bedroom in SY: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SY area. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £257,700 | £355,000 (+38%) | £522,750 (+47%) | £680,000 (+30%) |
| Semi-detached | £187,500 | £220,000 (+17%) | £257,000 (+17%) | £347,500 (+35%) | £440,000 (+27%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
