Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 6,287 sales registered with HM Land Registry in GU34 2 (Alton) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.

Behind the figures sit 6,287 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
GU34 2 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside GU34 (Alton). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

| 1996 | £66,500 | £140,246 | 207 |
| 1995 | £63,800 | £138,691 | 198 |
In cash terms the typical GU34 2 home went from £63,800 in 1995 to £380,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 174%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 13% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the GU34 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 (+23.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.3%). 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) | +1.9% | −0.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.1% | −1.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 61 sales completed in GU34 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 258 sales a year before the financial crisis and 133 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 rental side of GU34 2
For renting purposes GU34 2 sits in East Hampshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,260 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £899 a month here against £1,976 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, East Hampshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,260 a month is £15,120 a year, which against the £380,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.0%. 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
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.

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