In cash terms the typical TF6 5 home went from £78,000 in 1995 to £265,500 in 2026, roughly 3.4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 57%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2009; the current median sits about 60% below that. Someone who bought at the 2009 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the TF6 5 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 2009 (+130.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−47.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.5% | −5.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | 0.0% | −4.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.6% | −2.1% |
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
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, 12 sales completed in TF6 5. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 73 sales a year over the last five years against 16 before the financial crisis. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the TF6 5 market
This is a thin market: 12 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. Against the TF6 district median, TF6 5 sits 11% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
The rental side of TF6 5
TF6 5 falls under Telford and Wrekin, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £856 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £596 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,351 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Telford and Wrekin
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £265,500 median purchase price, a rent of £856 a month (£10,272 a year) works out at a 3.9% 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.

What another bedroom costs in TF
What homes of each size actually sold for across the TF area, 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.
