What a square metre costs in GU29

| 1995 | £74,000 | £160,865 | 157 |
In cash terms the typical GU29 home went from £74,000 in 1995 to £351,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 118%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2018. The market now sits about 36% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the GU29 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 (+38.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−23.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What GU29 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −23.7% | −25.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.1% | −7.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | 0.0% | −3.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.3% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 34% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £700,000 against £222,500 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 120 sales completed in GU29. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 196 sales a year before the financial crisis and 138 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.
The shape of the GU29 market
Only 120 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes GU29 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Among the 39 measurable districts of its area, GU29 ranks 38 by median price: towards the affordable end.
What homes rent for around GU29
GU29 falls under Chichester, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,325 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
£1,325 a month is £15,900 a year, which against the £351,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.5%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

Moving up a bedroom in GU: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the GU area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
