In cash terms the typical GU21 2 home went from £70,000 in 1995 to £450,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 196%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 18% below that. Someone who bought at the 2017 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the GU21 2 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 (+30.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−7.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What GU21 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +7.8% | +5.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.0% | −2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.8% | −1.5% |
| 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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 73 sales completed in GU21 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 379 sales a year before the financial crisis and 165 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 GU21 2
GU21 2 falls under Woking, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,618 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,131 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,694 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Woking
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £450,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,618 a month (£19,416 a year) works out at a 4.3% 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.

What another bedroom costs in GU
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the GU area. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

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.
