Kelham Island property market: common questions

Where is Kelham Island?

What is the average house price in Kelham Island?

The median asking price across the 137 homes for sale in Kelham Island is £100,000 (as of 4 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £69,950 and £138,000. That is 47% below Sheffield. Homes that actually sold in Kelham Island went for a median £131,500 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Kelham Island is up 15% over the last 10 years and down 6% over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.

Is Kelham Island cheaper than Sheffield?

Yes: asking prices in Kelham Island are typically lower than across Sheffield. The median asking price in Kelham Island is £100,000 against £190k across Sheffield: 47% below Sheffield.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (137 in Kelham Island), refreshed daily, as of 4 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Kelham Island cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
  • Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Kelham Island since May 2026.
  • Sheffield comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Sheffield, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
  • Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
