Price per square metre in GU34 4

In cash terms the typical GU34 4 home went from £145,000 in 1995 to £450,000 in 2026, roughly 3.1 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 43%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2019, and today's median remains roughly 39% under it: a 2019 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the GU34 4 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 2001 (+45.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−37.2%). 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) | −30.4% | −32.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.0% | −7.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.6% | −3.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.8% | −1.9% |
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
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 register shows 25 GU34 4 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 66 sales a year before the financial crisis and 51 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.
Rents around GU34 4
For renting purposes GU34 4 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.
Against the £450,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,260 a month (£15,120 a year) works out at a 3.4% 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.
The shape of the GU34 4 market
This is a thin market: 25 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. 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. Within GU34, this sector trades 10% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Is GU34 4 (Beech) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in GU34 4 (Beech)?
Are property prices falling in GU34 4 (Beech)?
Are GU34 4 prices heading up or down?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is down 14% over five years in cash but down 32% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

Bedroom by bedroom: GU prices by size
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.

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