How Oak Drive, Oswestry prices moved
The chart tracks the median Oak Drive, Oswestry house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2025. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 2 | £55,000 | £122,126 |
| 2000s | 6 | £129,250 | £235,455 |
| 2010s | 3 | £165,000 | £232,650 |
| 2020s | 2 | £201,000 | £205,370 |
The highest yearly median on record for Oak Drive, Oswestry is £260,000 in 2025; the lowest is £55,000 in 1997. Across the full 29-year record the cash median has moved from £55,000 to £260,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £116,617, so the real change over the whole record is +127.8% — about +2.98% 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: +59.0% in cash against +15.2% 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.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Oak Drive, Oswestry 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 93 | 67.4% | £159,950 | £22,525 – £310,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Oak Drive, Oswestry
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 138 freehold — 0.0% 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.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 138 | 100.0% | £148,500 |
| New build | 1 | 0.7% | £212,500 |
| Existing home | 137 | 99.3% | £147,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +44.6%. 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.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Shropshire, 40.2% of 156,548 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 9.4% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 1,369 | 0.9% |
| B | 18,755 | 12.0% |
| C | 42,872 | 27.4% |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Shropshire at £817 a month as of Jun 2026 — £603 for a one-bedroom home and £946 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £148,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.60% 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 SY11, 45 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 21 violent, 2 burglary, 0 vehicle-related and 10 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 3.7 times quieter.
Against the 323,606 residents the 2021 census counted in Shropshire, that is 0.14 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.

Within Oswestry the street ranks 254 of 612 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £136,000 (+9.2%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,576 per square metre, across 30 of the 138 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

Oak Drive, Oswestry sits in Shropshire, in the West Midlands.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Shropshire at 8.0 times median local earnings of £34,232 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.
