Blackwater market report GU17, Camberley
The GU17 (Blackwater) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. The raw material for this page is 6,331 HM Land Registry entries for GU17 (Camberley), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
Covers registered sales to August 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register. Page updated 19 October 2026.
In short: 70 registered 2026 sales put the GU17 (Camberley) median at £427,500, up 3% on five years earlier, with a mean of £462,900, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,450 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 6,331 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
The postcode district GU17 covering Blackwater, Hawley, Minley sits in Camberley. A district is the workhorse unit for reading a market: local enough to be meaningful, busy enough that the medians rest on a steady flow of sales.

In cash terms the typical GU17 home went from £69,500 in 1995 to £427,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 183%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 19% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the GU17 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 (+25.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−7.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What GU17 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | +3.0% | +0.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.0% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +1.5% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +0.9% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 35% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £626,000 against £195,000 for a flat, 3.2 times the price.

How many homes change hands in GU17
The year-by-year sales count
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 last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 115 GU17 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 251 sales a year before the financial crisis and 158 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
Rents around GU17
For renting purposes GU17 sits in Hart. The ONS average private rent there is £1,418 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £1,025 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,312 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Hart
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,418 a month is £17,016 a year, which against the £427,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.0%. 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.
What kind of market GU17 is
Only 115 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes GU17 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 3% over five years in cash but down 19% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

GU17: the homes on offer and the homes that go
In GU17, terraced homes made up 28% of recent sales yet only 0% of today's listings. Demand outrunning supply for a type is the clearest sign a fairly priced one will go quickly.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 29% | 29% |
| Semi-detached | 52% | 27% |
| Terraced | 0% | 28% |
| Flats | 19% | 16% |
The listing shares count homes published to HomesIndex by agents today; the sales shares count HM Land Registry registrations. Listings typed only as "house", "bungalow" or similar, which the register would file under one of the four forms, are excluded from the listing side (5 of them here).
Month by month: when GU17 sells
March is when GU17 changes hands most (11.9% of the 999 sales dated 2021 to 2025); May is the quiet end at 6.0%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 72 | 7.2% |
| February | 80 | 8.0% |
| March | 119 | 11.9% |
| April | 78 | 7.8% |
| May | 60 | 6.0% |

The price of an extra bedroom in GU
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the GU area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £438,840 | £500,000 (+14%) | £585,000 (+17%) | £710,000 (+21%) | £900,000 (+27%) |
| Semi-detached | £350,000 | £411,500 (+18%) | £460,000 (+12%) | £535,000 (+16%) | £680,000 (+27%) |
| Terraced | £272,500 | £350,000 (+28%) | £395,000 (+13%) | £485,000 (+23%) | £600,000 (+24%) |
| Flat | £192,000 | £255,000 (+33%) | £318,000 (+25%) | £430,000 (+35%) | £550,000 (+28%) |
Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
