Shrewsbury market report SY2 5
The standing SY2 5 (Shrewsbury) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. This page is built from the public record and nothing else: 6,128 completed sales registered with HM Land Registry in SY2 5 (Shrewsbury) since 1995, plus current ONS rental figures. There are no valuations, estimates or asking prices in it.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 67 registered 2026 sales put the SY2 5 (Shrewsbury) median at £280,000, up 12% on five years earlier, with a mean of £290,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,120 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 6,128 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
SY2 5 is one sector of SY2 (Shrewsbury): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

| 1995 | £50,800 | £110,431 | 155 |
In cash terms the typical SY2 5 home went from £50,800 in 1995 to £280,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 154%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 18% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SY2 5 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 (+29.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−10.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.9% | +0.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.3% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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 SY2 5
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 67 SY2 5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 184 sales a year recently, against 224 a year before 2008. 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 SY2 5 is
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.
What tenants pay around SY2 5
SY2 5 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.
£813 a month is £9,756 a year, which against the £280,000 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.

Moving up a bedroom in SY: the cost
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.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
