Slough house prices in 2026: what homes are really selling for
The median home in Slough sold for £400,000 in the 12 months to June 2026, up 3.9% on £385,000 a year earlier, according to J Scott & Co’s analysis of HM Land Registry data. Slough has an Elizabeth line station and some of the strongest house price growth in the Thames Valley, but its flat market has gone the other way.

Flats versus houses since 2022
Comparing like with like (homes that had been lived in before, not new builds), the median resale leasehold flat in Slough fell 6.5% between the first half of 2022 and the first half of 2026, from £230,000 to £215,000, while resale houses rose 8.8%. That is a gap of 15.3 percentage points in four years (J Scott Flat Market Index 2026).
Fewer flats are changing hands. Resale leasehold flat sales fell 26.7% between 2022 and 2025 (378 to 277), against a 9.2% fall for resale houses.
New flats have become much scarcer: new-build flat sales in Slough fell from 141 in 2022 to 74 in 2024 (-48%), so most flat buyers are now buying a resale.
In the 12 months to June 2026 the median freehold home in Slough sold for £440,500 and the median leasehold home for £230,000.

How we worked this out
We analysed HM Land Registry Price Paid Data for standard residential sales (category A). "12 months to June 2026" compares July 2025 to June 2026 with July 2024 to June 2025; the latest months are left out because sales take time to be registered. Yearly figures are full calendar years. The flats versus houses comparison uses resale homes only (not new builds) for January to June 2022 and January to June 2026, because new builds take longer to appear in the data. Area figures are shown only with at least 40 sales. Medians are not adjusted for the mix of homes sold.
