In cash terms the typical SY4 3 home went from £66,500 in 1995 to £452,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 213%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 5% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SY4 3 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 (+37.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−19.6%). 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 year (since 2025) | +33.1% | +30.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.9% | +1.0% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +5.4% | +0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.5% | +2.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.7% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
SY4 3 recorded 22 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 62 sales a year before the financial crisis and 41 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What kind of market SY4 3 is
This is a thin market: 22 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. Within SY4, this sector trades 51% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What homes rent for around SY4 3
The local authority for SY4 3 is Shropshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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 £452,500 median purchase price, a rent of £813 a month (£9,756 a year) works out at a 2.2% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in SY
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SY area. 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.
