What buyers actually paid in SY8 4
The SY8 4 median stands at £334,500 for 2026, built from 16 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £418,400, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
SY8 4 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of SY8 4 sales average about £3,410 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts SY8 4 17% above the country at large.

In cash terms the typical SY8 4 home went from £67,500 in 1995 to £334,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 128%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2019. The market now sits about 33% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SY8 4 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 (+35.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−18.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −8.4% | −10.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.8% | −5.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.8% | −2.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.2% |
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
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
SY8 4 recorded 16 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 62 sales a year before the financial crisis and 44 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.
The shape of the SY8 4 market
Only 16 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SY8 4 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. Against the SY8 district median, SY8 4 sits 19% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
The rental side of SY8 4
SY8 4 falls under Herefordshire, County of, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £809 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £587 a month here against £1,326 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Herefordshire, County of
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £334,500 median purchase price, a rent of £809 a month (£9,708 a year) works out at a 2.9% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom 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.

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

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.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
