In cash terms the typical SY2 6 home went from £51,600 in 1995 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 167%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 14% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SY2 6 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 (+36.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2015 (−15.5%). 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) | +5.3% | +2.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
How many homes change hands in SY2 6
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.
SY2 6 recorded 63 sales in the last twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 189 sales a year over the last five years against 118 before the financial crisis. 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.
What tenants pay around SY2 6
SY2 6 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 £300,000 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.

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.

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.
