In cash terms the typical GU2 home went from £81,000 in 1995 to £490,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 178%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 14% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the GU2 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 1998 (+18.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−4.4%). 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
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.9% | +0.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.7% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 42% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £655,000 against £240,000 for a flat, 2.7 times the price.

How many homes change hands in GU2
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
GU2 recorded 282 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 666 sales a year before the financial crisis and 314 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 tenants pay around GU2
The local authority for GU2 is Guildford, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,728 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,179 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,520, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Guildford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £490,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,728 a month (£20,736 a year) works out at a 4.2% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

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%) |
