In short: the 2026 median for SY5 9 (Shrewsbury) is £276,500, from 18 registered sales, down 11% on five years earlier; the mean is £344,400, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,930 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 1,964 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.

SY5 9 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SY5 (Shrewsbury). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

Today's SY5 9 prices, from the sold record

The 2026 median for SY5 9 is £276,500, taken from 18 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £344,400, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.

House prices per square metre in SY5 9

A square metre of SY5 9 home has cost about £2,930 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.

For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so SY5 9 trades 3% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical SY5 9 home went from £75,000 in 1995 to £276,500 in 2026, roughly 3.7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 70%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 31% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+36.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−23.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Annualised returns

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

SY5 9 recorded 18 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 81 sales a year before the financial crisis and 42 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 SY5 9 is

This is a thin market: 18 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within SY5, this sector trades 15% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

What tenants pay around SY5 9

For renting purposes SY5 9 sits in Shropshire. The ONS average private rent there is £813 a month (May 2026). 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.

Set against the £276,500 median sold price, £813 a month is £9,756 a year, a gross yield of 3.5%: 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.

SY5 9 (Atcham): the questions that come up

Are SY5 9 prices heading up or down?

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is down 11% over five years in cash but down 30% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
