Local market reports › GU area › GU13
Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 62 sales registered with HM Land Registry in GU13 (Guildford) since 1997, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales data to August 1998. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.
GU13 is the postcode district in Guildford. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.
The 2005 median in GU13 is £250,000, from 5 registered sales; the mean, £286,000, sits modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £274,000, so GU13 trades 9% below the country as a whole.
The median as recorded at the time, and each year restated in today's money (ONS CPIH), the sharper test of whether homes really got dearer. Hover for the year-by-year figures; click a legend entry to isolate a series.
| Year | Median (cash) | Median (today's £) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2005 | £250,000 | £434,509 | 5 |
| 2001 | £152,000 | £285,388 | 5 |
| 2000 | £171,800 | £329,283 | 6 |
| 1999 | £103,700 | £201,842 | 6 |
| 1998 | £137,200 | £270,480 | 8 |
| 1997 | £83,000 | £166,241 | 9 |
In cash terms the typical GU13 home went from £83,000 in 1997 to £250,000 in 2005, roughly 3.0 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 50%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not just more expensive on paper.
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 4 years (since 2001) | +13.2% | +11.1% |
| 5 years (since 2000) | +7.8% | +5.7% |
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.
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
GU13 recorded 5 sales in the last twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 6 sales a year over the last five years against 5 before the financial crisis. 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.
Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is up 46% over five years in cash but down 24% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.
GU13 ranks 1 of 39 in the GU area on five-year growth. The gap between the top and bottom of this chart is the difference between buying well and buying badly in the same city.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
