In cash terms the typical SY1 3 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £230,600 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 112%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 9% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SY1 3 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 (+35.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−7.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SY1 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.5% | +0.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.6% | −1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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.
SY1 3 recorded 52 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 150 sales a year before the financial crisis and 76 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.
What tenants pay around SY1 3
The local authority for SY1 3 is Shropshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £813 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £600 a month here against £1,384 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Shropshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£813 a month is £9,756 a year, which against the £230,600 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.2%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
The shape of the SY1 3 market
Only 52 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SY1 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.

No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is up 19% over five years in cash but down 6% after inflation.

What you could buy in SY1 now
The live side of the market holds 60 homes at the moment, listed by 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SY1 district, not just SY1 3: live asking prices are collected per district.
21% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.

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.

What another bedroom costs in SY
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SY area, 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 | — | £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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

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