| 1995 | £78,000 | £169,560 | 499 |
In cash terms the typical GU34 home went from £78,000 in 1995 to £410,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 142%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 22% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the GU34 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 1999 (+26.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−10.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What GU34 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −8.9% | −11.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.4% | −5.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.0% | −2.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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, 39% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £750,000 against £200,000 for a flat, 3.8 times the price.

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 monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 394 sales completed in GU34. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 668 sales a year before the financial crisis and 468 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the GU34 market

What tenants pay around GU34
For renting purposes GU34 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 £410,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,260 a month (£15,120 a year) works out at a 3.7% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in GU
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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £473,000 | £635,000 (+34%) | £910,000 (+43%) | £1,366,000 (+50%) |
| Semi-detached | £340,000 | £415,000 (+22%) | £486,000 (+17%) | £630,000 (+30%) | £885,000 (+40%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
