Brimfield market report SY8 1, Ludlow
The standing SY8 1 (Brimfield) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 5,653 sales registered with HM Land Registry in SY8 1 (Ludlow) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

In short: a typical SY8 1 (Ludlow) home changed hands for £260,000 in 2026 (median of 75 registered sales, up 13% on five years earlier), with the mean at £285,900, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,000 per square metre over the last five years.

A postcode sector like SY8 1 is a single group of streets within SY8 (Ludlow), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical SY8 1 home went from £56,500 in 1995 to £260,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 112%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 21% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SY8 1 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 2020 (+30.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2021 (−9.8%). 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) | +4.4% | +2.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.5% | −2.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.7% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 75 sales completed in SY8 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 232 sales a year before the financial crisis and 143 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 tenants pay around SY8 1
For renting purposes SY8 1 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.
Against the £260,000 median purchase price, a rent of £813 a month (£9,756 a year) works out at a 3.8% 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 13% over five years in cash but down 11% after inflation.

Moving up a bedroom in SY: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SY area. 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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
