How Saw Mill Way, Burton-on-trent prices moved
The chart tracks the median Saw Mill Way, Burton-on-trent house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2011 to 2026. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2010s | 9 | £142,000 | £200,220 |
| 2020s | 4 | £168,000 | £171,652 |
The highest yearly median on record for Saw Mill Way, Burton-on-trent is £187,500 in 2026; the lowest is £123,950 in 2013. Across the full 16-year record the cash median has moved from £142,000 to £187,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £217,630, so the real change over the whole record is -13.8% — about -0.99% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +50.0% in cash against +7.4% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Saw Mill Way, Burton-on-trent values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Saw Mill Way, Burton-on-trent is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 80 | 42.1% | £147,950 | £110,000 – £200,000 |
| Semi-detached | 58 | 30.5% | £152,950 | £110,000 – £225,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 44 | 23.2% | £74,000 | £65,000 – £113,000 |
| Detached | 8 | 4.2% | £153,000 | £142,950 – £160,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Saw Mill Way, Burton-on-trent
36 of the sales on record are leasehold and 154 freehold — 18.9% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
The median leasehold sale is £70,000 and the median freehold sale £149,950 — a gap of +114.2%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 36 | 18.9% | £70,000 |
| Freehold | 154 | 81.1% | £149,950 |
| New build | 115 | 60.5% | £129,950 |
| Existing home | 75 | 39.5% | £158,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -17.8%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 20 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Living in Saw Mill Way, Burton-on-trent
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across East Staffordshire, 45.8% of 62,682 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 5.8% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in East Staffordshire at £844 a month as of Jun 2026 — £604 for a one-bedroom home and £928 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £144,600 here, that rent is a gross yield of 7.00% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of DE14, 366 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 151 violent, 13 burglary, 17 vehicle-related and 30 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.2 times busier.
Against the 124,020 residents the 2021 census counted in East Staffordshire, that is 2.95 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

The 2021 census counted 124,020 residents in East Staffordshire across 51,293 households. 67.5% of those households own their home and 32.4% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,944 per square metre, across 98 of the 190 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

Saw Mill Way, Burton-on-trent sits in East Staffordshire, in the West Midlands.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in East Staffordshire at 6.9 times median local earnings of £34,210 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Saw Mill Way, Burton-on-trent?
The median price paid in Saw Mill Way, Burton-on-trent across every sale on the register is £144,600. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.

190 sales are on record for Saw Mill Way, Burton-on-trent, the most recent completing on 5 Jun 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

The highest yearly median on record is £187,500, set in 2026. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Saw Mill Way, Burton-on-trent?
£1,944 per square metre, from the 98 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
