How SN5 0 prices moved
There are too few years of sales in SN5 0 to plot a trend line. The figures below are drawn from the whole record rather than a yearly series.
Section 02
The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Section 03
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 SN5 0 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. SN5 0 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 34 | 81.0% | £450,000 | £60,000 – £1,050,000 |
| Semi-detached | 8 | 19.0% | £188,000 | £50,000 – £625,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in SN5 0
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 42 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 | 42 | 100.0% | £409,000 |
A further 29 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.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Swindon, 55.1% of 106,645 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 1.8% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 715 | 0.7% |
| B | 15,600 | 14.6% |
| C | 42,470 | 39.8% |
| D | 36,357 | 34.1% |
| E | 9,531 | 8.9% |
| F | 1,557 | 1.5% |
| G | 415 | 0.4% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Swindon at £1,091 a month as of Jun 2026 — £816 for a one-bedroom home and £1,212 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £409,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 3.20% 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 SN5, 93 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 37 violent, 0 burglary, 4 vehicle-related and 18 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.8 times quieter.
Against the 233,407 residents the 2021 census counted in Swindon, that is 0.40 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.
Section 08
The neighbourhood around SN5 0
The 2021 census counted 233,407 residents in Swindon across 95,861 households. 64.9% of those households own their home and 34.9% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
14 state and independent schools have a SN5 postcode: 12 primary, 2 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How SN5 0 compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. SN5 0 sits above that national figure — +159.7%.
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
The full range on record runs from £50,000 to £1,050,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
SN5 0 sits in Swindon, in the South West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Swindon at 7.0 times median local earnings of £40,280 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in SN5 0?
The median price paid in SN5 0 across every sale on the register is £409,000. 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.
How many homes have sold in SN5 0?
42 sales are on record for SN5 0, the most recent completing on 17 Feb 2022. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
What is the price per square metre in SN5 0?
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 17 Feb 2022. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
