In cash terms the typical SY3 7 home went from £47,000 in 1995 to £262,800 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 157%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 10% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SY3 7 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 (+31.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.0%). 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) | −2.7% | −4.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.7% | −2.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
SY3 7 recorded 50 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 186 sales a year before the financial crisis and 97 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 SY3 7 is
Only 50 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SY3 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within SY3, this sector trades 16% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
Rents around SY3 7
SY3 7 falls under Shropshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £813 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £600 a month here against £1,384 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Shropshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £262,800 median purchase price, a rent of £813 a month (£9,756 a year) works out at a 3.7% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: SY prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SY area, 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
