In short: the 2026 median for CR3 0 (Caterham) is £317,200, from 32 registered sales, down 8% on five years earlier; the mean is £355,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,770 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 3,418 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.

A postcode sector like CR3 0 is a single group of streets within CR3 (Caterham), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

Today's CR3 0 prices, from the sold record

In the CR3 0 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £317,200, from 32 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £355,000, sitting a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.

CR3 0 prices by floor area

The last five years of sales put CR3 0 at roughly £4,770 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.

England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving CR3 0 11% above the national figure.

In cash terms the typical CR3 0 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £317,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 143%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 28% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 1998 (+25.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−23.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years

Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.

Transaction volumes

Over the last twelve months of data, 32 sales completed in CR3 0. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 139 sales a year before the financial crisis and 66 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.

Reading the CR3 0 market

This is a thin market: 32 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within CR3, this sector trades 29% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

What homes rent for around CR3 0

CR3 0 falls under Tandridge, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,622 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,147 a month here against £2,803 for four or more bedrooms.

£1,622 a month is £19,464 a year, which against the £317,200 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.1%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

Where do CR3 0 prices go next?

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is down 8% over five years in cash but down 28% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
