SY7 0 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SY7 (Craven Arms). 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.

In cash terms the typical SY7 0 home went from £68,800 in 1995 to £365,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 144%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2010. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SY7 0 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 (+42.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−15.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SY7 0 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +4.3% | +1.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.8% | −3.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.6% | −1.1% |
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 20 sales completed in SY7 0. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 55 sales a year before the financial crisis and 43 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 SY7 0 is
This is a thin market: 20 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 SY7, this sector trades 11% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What tenants pay around SY7 0
SY7 0 falls under Shropshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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 £365,000 median purchase price, a rent of £813 a month (£9,756 a year) works out at a 2.7% 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.

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 4% over five years in cash but down 18% after inflation.

Moving up a bedroom in SY: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SY area, 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £257,700 | £355,000 (+38%) | £522,750 (+47%) | £680,000 (+30%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. 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.
