Our take · opinion, not advice

Our take on S26: steady sales, so price from the evidence

S26 sees about 24 sales a month, and with no dependable year-on-year figure to hand, recent sold homes are a safer guide than any headline.

If you are selling, S26 buyers have mostly paid between £128,000 and £375,000, so compare like with like on type, size and condition; sales arrive at a steady pace, so there is no need to rush to a low price.

Sell house

If you are buying, on price, S26 is below the UK average, so a lower price than the average is a prompt to ask why, not a reason to relax.

Before an offer goes in on any S26 home, look at flood risk over the long term, council tax (Band D is £2,382 a year) and what has been built or proposed nearby, and leave the title to your conveyancer.

Next step: the free S26 OfferCheck, which sets flood, crime, planning, council tax and schools next to these prices, with every source named.

Across the 12 sampled S26 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 3 to decile 9, with a median of decile 6 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.

S26 3XZ, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 6 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.

Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so S26 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in S26: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

Rotherham's council tax for 2026-27 set against the S26 median sold price of £210,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the S26 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.

Questions, answered

The S26 report: your questions

What is the average house price in S26?
The typical (median) sold price in S26 is £210,000, from 250 recorded sales between 1 October 2025 and 20 August 2026. Most sales fell between £128,000 and £375,000. That is below the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index averages). A median is the middle sale, so a few very expensive homes do not pull it up the way they pull up an average.
What does each type of home cost in S26?
Typical sold prices by type in S26: semi-detached homes £200,000 (124 sales), detached homes £319,000 (74 sales), terraced homes £131,000 (43 sales), flats £120,000 (3 sales). Use the figure for your type of home rather than the all-homes median.
How much is council tax in S26?
S26 is billed by Rotherham, whose Band D charge for 2026-27 is £2,382 a year. Every band from A to H is listed on this page. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and there is no free per-address dataset for it, so we never guess an individual home's band. Look it up on GOV.UK and read your row.
Which schools are near S26?
The Department for Education's register lists 8 open schools within 3 km of the S26 district centre, the nearest being Aston Hall Junior and Infant School (last Ofsted grade: Good). These are nearest by straight-line distance from the district centroid. They are not catchment or admission areas, which councils set individually and do not publish centrally.
How up to date are the S26 sold prices?
Sold prices come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, covering sales up to 28 August 2026. The store is rebuilt monthly. New sales can take several weeks to appear in the official register after completion, so the very latest transactions may not show yet.
Is S26 a deprived area?
On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, the 12 S26 postcodes we sampled (the ones with the most recent recorded sales, not a random sample) run from decile 3 to decile 9, with a median of decile 6 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. Deprivation is published for small areas, not postcode districts, so a district like S26 usually spans several. It is area context, never a judgement on an individual home.
Have there been planning applications near S26?
The last check of the local planning authority register found 2 applications within 500 m of the S26 district centre; the most recent are listed on this page with their reference, description and status as the authority published them. For an up-to-the-minute search, use the planning tool with your full postcode.
Can I see what an individual address in S26 sold for?
Yes. This page lists the 24 most recently sold doors of the 244 distinct addresses in the records we hold for S26, each with its price and date. Addresses come from recorded sales since 1995, so a home that has never been sold does not appear; and we link an address to its own property page only where the match is certain, never by guessing.
Does S26 cover my exact street?
S26 is the outward half of the postcode and covers the whole district, so the district-wide figures on this page are medians and ranges, not a valuation of any single property. The address list gives you the door-level picture, and the free checks take a full postcode.
