Rotherham property market: common questions
Where is Rotherham?
Rotherham is in South Yorkshire, covering about 9 square miles.
What is the average house price in Rotherham?
The median asking price across the 242 homes for sale in Rotherham is £170,000 (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 £120,000 and £250,000. That is 15% below South Yorkshire. Homes that actually sold in Rotherham went for a median £166,105 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).
Are house prices in Rotherham rising or falling?
Rising. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Rotherham is up 58% over the last 10 years and up 9% 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 Rotherham cheaper than South Yorkshire?
Yes: asking prices in Rotherham are typically lower than across South Yorkshire. The median asking price in Rotherham is £170,000 against £200k across South Yorkshire: 15% below South Yorkshire. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The saving holds from the lower end to the top of the market.
How many homes are for sale in Rotherham?
242 homes are on the market in Rotherham right now, 104 of them listed in the last 30 days. Perch counts every listing it tracks across estate agents and portals, refreshed daily.

How much do flats and houses cost in Rotherham?
The median asking price for a flat in Rotherham is £80,000. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is semi-detached houses, at a median £190,000 across 110 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.
How much is a two-bedroom flat in Rotherham?
The median asking price for a two-bedroom flat in Rotherham is £90,000, across 17 current listings.
How much is a three-bedroom house in Rotherham?
There is no single three-bedroom house price: the largest group of three-bedroom houses for sale in Rotherham is semi-detached houses, at a median asking price of £190,000 across 82 listings. The Size × type view on this page covers every combination we track.
What is the price per square foot in Rotherham?
In Rotherham, homes that sold went for a median £190 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £191 per sq ft.
How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (242 in Rotherham), refreshed daily, as of 4 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings.
- 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 Rotherham since May 2026.
- South Yorkshire comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of South Yorkshire, 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.
