In cash terms the typical SY12 home went from £59,000 in 1995 to £272,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 112%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 13% below that. Someone who bought at the 2006 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SY12 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 2002 (+22.6% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−11.0%). 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, 48% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £385,000 against £133,500 for a flat, 2.9 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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 115 sales completed in SY12. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 157 sales a year before the financial crisis and 125 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.
Rents around SY12
SY12 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 £272,500 median purchase price, a rent of £813 a month (£9,756 a year) works out at a 3.6% 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.
How SY12 trades
This is a thin market: 115 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.

How much did a house sell for in SY12 (Welshampton)?
Are property prices falling in SY12 (Welshampton)?
Is SY12 (Welshampton) a good place to buy a house?
Will SY12 prices rise from here?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 18% over five years in cash but down 6% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
SY12's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in SY12 sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 10 homes on the market right now, from 2 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 8% below the SY12 median sold price.
Of everything listed here, 17% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

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.
Moving up a bedroom in SY: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the SY area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
