In cash terms the typical SY12 9 home went from £72,800 in 1995 to £297,700 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 88%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2008; the current median sits about 21% below that. Someone who bought at the 2008 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SY12 9 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 (+36.8% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−26.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SY12 9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +8.3% | +5.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.0% | −0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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, 24 sales completed in SY12 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 70 sales a year before the financial crisis and 49 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 SY12 9 market
Only 24 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SY12 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the SY12 district median, SY12 9 sits 9% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
The rental side of SY12 9
SY12 9 falls under Shropshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £813 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £297,700 median purchase price, a rent of £813 a month (£9,756 a year) works out at a 3.3% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in SY: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the SY area, straight 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £257,700 | £355,000 (+38%) | £522,750 (+47%) | £680,000 (+30%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
