In cash terms the typical GU21 3 home went from £65,000 in 1995 to £370,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 162%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the GU21 3 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 (+27.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−4.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What GU21 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +4.2% | +1.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
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.
GU21 3 recorded 63 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 342 sales a year before the financial crisis and 128 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.
The rental side of GU21 3
For renting purposes GU21 3 sits in Woking. The ONS average private rent there is £1,618 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,131 a month here against £2,694 for four or more bedrooms.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £370,000 median sold price, £1,618 a month is £19,416 a year, a gross yield of 5.2%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

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 | — | £473,000 | £635,000 (+34%) | £910,000 (+43%) | £1,366,000 (+50%) |
| Semi-detached | £340,000 | £415,000 (+22%) | £486,000 (+17%) | £630,000 (+30%) | £885,000 (+40%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
