| 1995 | £66,000 | £143,474 | 973 |
In cash terms the typical GU14 home went from £66,000 in 1995 to £370,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 158%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the GU14 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2000 (+21.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 30% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £562,500 against £195,000 for a flat, 2.9 times the price.

What GU14 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.4% | −1.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.0% | −2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.9% | −1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
GU14 recorded 634 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,331 sales a year before the financial crisis and 681 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around GU14
GU14 falls under Rushmoor, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,380 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £975 a month here against £2,168 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Rushmoor
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,380 a month is £16,560 a year, which against the £370,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.5%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in GU: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the GU area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £473,000 | £635,000 (+34%) | £910,000 (+43%) | £1,366,000 (+50%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
