Market Overview: S42
The median sale price in S42 is £174k, drawn from 12 residential transactions in the last twelve months. Individual sales ranged from £56k to £320k, which is a normal spread for a postcode of this size.

The S42 5AA dataset is a reasonable baseline, but decisions at the individual-property level should still lean on matched comparables rather than the area median alone. On the rental side, the estimated gross yield on a median-priced property here is around 6.2%, based on ONS regional rents.
