| 1995 | £37,900 | £82,389 | 112 |
In cash terms the typical SY11 1 home went from £37,900 in 1995 to £220,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 167%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 15% 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 SY11 1 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 2005 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−20.2%). 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) | +11.3% | +8.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.7% | −0.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in SY11 1
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 37 sales completed in SY11 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 161 sales a year before the financial crisis and 91 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market SY11 1 is
This is a thin market: 37 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.
Rents around SY11 1
SY11 1 falls under Shropshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Against the £220,000 median purchase price, a rent of £813 a month (£9,756 a year) works out at a 4.4% 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.

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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
