In cash terms the typical SY4 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £305,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 134%: 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 19% 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 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 2002 (+32.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−7.9%). 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) | −4.7% | −6.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.2% | −3.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 58% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £400,000 against £124,000 for a flat, 3.2 times the price.

Sales activity in SY4
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
SY4 recorded 300 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 430 sales a year before the financial crisis and 315 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 SY4 is
SY4 sits 6 of 25 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
The rental side of SY4
The local authority for SY4 is Shropshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £813 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £600 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,384, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Shropshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £305,000 median sold price, £813 a month is £9,756 a year, a gross yield of 3.2%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in SY: the cost
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.
