Beech market report GU34 5, Alton
The GU34 5 (Beech) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 4,213 sales registered with HM Land Registry in GU34 5 (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.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 36 registered 2026 sales put the GU34 5 (Alton) median at £560,000, down 5% on five years earlier, with a mean of £603,800, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,660 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 4,213 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
A postcode sector like GU34 5 is a single group of streets within GU34 (Alton), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

In cash terms the typical GU34 5 home went from £145,800 in 1995 to £560,000 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 77%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 25% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the GU34 5 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 2016 (+37.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−17.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What GU34 5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −10.0% | −12.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.0% | −5.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.6% | −2.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.5% |
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.
Sales activity in GU34 5
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.
The register shows 36 GU34 5 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 128 sales a year before the financial crisis and 97 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market GU34 5 is
This is a thin market: 36 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the GU34 district median, GU34 5 sits 37% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around GU34 5
For renting purposes GU34 5 sits in East Hampshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,260 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £899 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,976 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, East Hampshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £560,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,260 a month (£15,120 a year) works out at a 2.7% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: GU prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the GU area, straight 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.
