In cash terms the typical GU21 8 home went from £79,500 in 1995 to £458,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 165%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 18% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the GU21 8 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 (+33.8% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−8.2%). 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) | +5.3% | +2.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.1% | −1.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.5% | −1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +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.
How many homes change hands in GU21 8
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, 25 sales completed in GU21 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 84 sales a year before the financial crisis and 45 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.
How GU21 8 trades
Only 25 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes GU21 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within GU21, this sector trades 9% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
Rents around GU21 8
For renting purposes GU21 8 sits in Woking. The ONS average private rent there is £1,618 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £1,131 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,694, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Woking
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £458,000 median sold price, £1,618 a month is £19,416 a year, a gross yield of 4.2%: 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: GU prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the GU area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
