In cash terms the typical TF2 8 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £220,000 in 2026, roughly 3.7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 69%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2010, and today's median remains roughly 17% under it: a 2010 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the TF2 8 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 2003 (+38.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−10.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What TF2 8 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.1% | −3.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.4% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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
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, 41 sales completed in TF2 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 206 sales a year before the financial crisis and 93 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 TF2 8 market
Only 41 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes TF2 8 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.
What tenants pay around TF2 8
TF2 8 falls under Telford and Wrekin, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £856 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £596 a month here against £1,351 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Telford and Wrekin
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £220,000 median purchase price, a rent of £856 a month (£10,272 a year) works out at a 4.7% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: TF prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the TF area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

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.
