In cash terms the typical SY7 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £340,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 161%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 23% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SY7 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 (+39.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−16.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 59% of the typed total. In 2022, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £462,100 against £155,000 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in SY7
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 114 sales completed in SY7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 180 sales a year before the financial crisis and 116 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.
Rents around SY7
The local authority for SY7 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.
£813 a month is £9,756 a year, which against the £340,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.9%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
The shape of the SY7 market
Only 114 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SY7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. SY7 sits 2 of 25 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.

What happens to SY7 prices now?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 13% over five years in cash but down 11% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
What you could buy in SY7 now
Everything above is what homes in SY7 sold for. This is what you could actually buy today: 21 homes currently on the market from an agent publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 13% below the SY7 median sold price.
At the pace of the last twelve months' registered sales (114 in SY7), the 21 homes listed here amount to about 2 months of supply. Not every agent publishes to HomesIndex, so the true figure is higher.
14% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
"Under comparable sales" compares each asking price with what similar homes nearby actually sold for. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a valuation. Always look at the home itself.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Listed against sold: the SY7 mix
Semi-detached homes are 40% of what is listed in SY7 but 27% of what sold over 2024 and 2025: the market is being offered more of them than it has been taking, which tends to give a buyer of one room to talk.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 55% | 58% |
| Semi-detached | 40% | 27% |
| Terraced | 5% | 15% |
The listing shares count homes published to HomesIndex by agents today; the sales shares count HM Land Registry registrations. Listings typed only as "house", "bungalow" or similar, which the register would file under one of the four forms, are excluded from the listing side.
When homes in SY7 change hands
Take the 721 SY7 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: September completions lead with 13.0% of the total, April trails with 6.1%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 49 | 6.8% |
| February | 52 | 7.2% |
| March | 69 | 9.6% |
| April | 44 | 6.1% |
| May | 45 | 6.2% |
| June | 66 | 9.2% |
| July | 72 | 10.0% |
| August | 63 | 8.7% |

The price of an extra bedroom in SY
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SY area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £205,000 | £260,000 (+27%) | £312,699 (+20%) | £383,500 (+23%) | £482,000 (+26%) |
| Semi-detached | £185,000 | £205,000 (+11%) | £232,650 (+13%) | £275,000 (+18%) | £345,000 (+25%) |
| Terraced | £135,000 | £167,000 (+24%) | £197,000 (+18%) | £250,000 (+27%) | £307,500 (+23%) |
| Flat | £120,000 | £155,000 (+29%) | £237,700 (+53%) | — | — |
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.
