In cash terms the typical SY20 8 home went from £41,000 in 1995 to £200,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 124%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2006. The market now sits about 21% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SY20 8 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 2005 (+37.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−16.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.1% | +0.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.1% | −0.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.6% | −1.1% |
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 SY20 8
The year-by-year sales count
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.
SY20 8 recorded 18 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 66 sales a year before the financial crisis and 50 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.
What kind of market SY20 8 is
This is a thin market: 18 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. 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.
Rents around SY20 8
The local authority for SY20 8 is Powys, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £620 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £461 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £951, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Powys
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £200,000 median sold price, £620 a month is £7,440 a year, a gross yield of 3.7%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

What another bedroom costs in SY
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SY area, 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.
