In cash terms the typical GU29 9 home went from £71,000 in 1995 to £340,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 120%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 30% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the GU29 9 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 (+27.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−16.0%). 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) | −16.0% | −18.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.9% | −6.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.9% | −2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.2% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 32 GU29 9 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 151 sales a year before the financial crisis and 97 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.
What homes rent for around GU29 9
For renting purposes GU29 9 sits in Chichester. The ONS average private rent there is £1,325 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £941 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,109, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Chichester
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £340,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,325 a month (£15,900 a year) works out at a 4.7% 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.
How GU29 9 trades
Only 32 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes GU29 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

The price of an extra bedroom in GU
What homes of each size actually sold for across the GU area, 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £473,000 | £635,000 (+34%) | £910,000 (+43%) | £1,366,000 (+50%) |

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
