Baschurch market report SY4 5, Shrewsbury
The standing SY4 5 (Baschurch) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 4,793 registered sales in SY4 5 (Shrewsbury) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 57 registered 2026 sales put the SY4 5 (Shrewsbury) median at £235,000, up 3% on five years earlier, with a mean of £285,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,850 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 4,793 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
SY4 5 is one sector of SY4 (Shrewsbury): 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 buyers actually paid in SY4 5
The 2026 median for SY4 5 is £235,000, taken from 57 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £285,000, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
SY4 5 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of SY4 5 sales average about £2,850 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.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts SY4 5 18% below the country at large.

In cash terms the typical SY4 5 home went from £49,100 in 1995 to £235,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 120%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 21% 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 SY4 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 (+40.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−13.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SY4 5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −13.3% | −15.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.5% | −4.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.7% | −1.0% |
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 57 sales completed in SY4 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 188 sales a year before the financial crisis and 110 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of SY4 5
The local authority for SY4 5 is Shropshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Set against the £235,000 median sold price, £813 a month is £9,756 a year, a gross yield of 4.2%: 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 kind of market SY4 5 is
This is a thin market: 57 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 23% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

What another bedroom costs in SY
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.
