Borth market report SY24 5, Aberystwyth
The SY24 5 (Borth) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 2,074 sales registered with HM Land Registry in SY24 5 (Aberystwyth) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 20 registered 2026 sales put the SY24 5 (Aberystwyth) median at £201,500, down 20% on five years earlier, with a mean of £213,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,520 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 2,074 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
SY24 5 is one sector of SY24 (Aberystwyth): 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.

What SY24 5 homes really sell for
Take the 20 registered 2026 sales in SY24 5 and the middle price, the median, is £201,500. The mean lands at £213,100, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.
House prices per square metre in SY24 5
Measured by floor area, the last five years of SY24 5 sales average about £2,520 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so SY24 5 trades 29% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical SY24 5 home went from £46,600 in 1995 to £201,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 99%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 37% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SY24 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 (+42.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−20.4%). 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) | −12.4% | −14.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −4.3% | −8.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.4% | −1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.4% |
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 SY24 5
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 20 SY24 5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 83 sales a year before the financial crisis and 51 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.
Rents around SY24 5
For renting purposes SY24 5 sits in Ceredigion. The ONS average private rent there is £714 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £555 a month here against £1,074 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Ceredigion
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £201,500 median sold price, £714 a month is £8,568 a year, a gross yield of 4.3%: 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.
Reading the SY24 5 market
This is a thin market: 20 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.

What another bedroom costs in SY
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.
