In cash terms the typical SY6 6 home went from £66,500 in 1995 to £370,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 156%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2009, and today's median remains roughly 5% under it: a 2009 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SY6 6 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 2001 (+26.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−19.4%). 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) | +13.8% | +11.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.3% | −0.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.1% | +2.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.6% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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 register shows 25 SY6 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 102 sales a year before the financial crisis and 58 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.
How SY6 6 trades
This is a thin market: 25 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.
What homes rent for around SY6 6
For renting purposes SY6 6 sits in Shropshire. The ONS average private rent there is £813 a month (May 2026). 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 £370,000 median sold price, £813 a month is £9,756 a year, a gross yield of 2.6%: 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.

SY6's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 6 homes at the moment, listed by 3 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SY6 district, not just SY6 6: live asking prices are collected per district.
50% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

What another bedroom costs in SY
Real sold prices by size across the SY area, straight 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%) |
| Semi-detached | £187,500 | £220,000 (+17%) | £257,000 (+17%) | £347,500 (+35%) | £440,000 (+27%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
