What a home in SY10 sells for
The 2026 median for SY10 is £282,500, taken from 91 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £315,400, modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.
SY10 prices by floor area

In cash terms the typical SY10 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £282,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 136%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 23% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SY10 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 (+30.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−13.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 66% of the typed total. In 2024, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £374,800 against £122,500 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

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.
Sales activity in SY10
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
SY10 recorded 166 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 260 sales a year before the financial crisis and 173 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 SY10
The local authority for SY10 is Shropshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £813 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £600 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,384, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £282,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.5%. 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.
What kind of market SY10 is
Detached homes made up 54% of last year's sales, an unusually house-heavy mix that keeps the median well above what a flat or terrace here goes for.

Is SY10 (Gobowen) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in SY10 (Gobowen)?
Are property prices falling in SY10 (Gobowen)?
Are SY10 prices heading up or down?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is down 3% over five years in cash but down 23% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

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.
Month by month: when SY10 sells
March is when SY10 changes hands most (11.2% of the 1,056 sales dated 2021 to 2025); April is the quiet end at 6.3%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.

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. 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 | £205,000 | £260,000 (+27%) | £312,699 (+20%) | £383,500 (+23%) | £482,000 (+26%) |
| Semi-detached | £185,000 | £205,000 (+11%) | £232,650 (+13%) | £275,000 (+18%) | £345,000 (+25%) |
| Terraced | £135,000 | £167,000 (+24%) | £197,000 (+18%) | £250,000 (+27%) | £307,500 (+23%) |
| Flat | £120,000 | £155,000 (+29%) | £237,700 (+53%) | — | — |
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.
