In cash terms the typical SY11 home went from £44,000 in 1995 to £228,900 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 139%, 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 10% 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 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 (+36.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−6.9%). 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, 36% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £335,000 against £122,000 for a flat, 2.7 times the price.

How many homes change hands in SY11
How many homes change hands
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.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
SY11 recorded 336 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 622 sales a year before the financial crisis and 361 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 SY11 market

Rents around SY11
SY11 falls under Shropshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Against the £228,900 median purchase price, a rent of £813 a month (£9,756 a year) works out at a 4.3% 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.

What another bedroom costs in SY
Real sold prices by size across the SY area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.
