In cash terms the typical GU4 8 home went from £103,000 in 1995 to £582,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 160%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 42% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the GU4 8 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 2022 (+62.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−25.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What GU4 8 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.2% | −0.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.5% | −2.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
How many homes change hands in GU4 8
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.
GU4 8 recorded 36 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 114 sales a year before the financial crisis and 70 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.
How GU4 8 trades
Only 36 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes GU4 8 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.
The rental side of GU4 8
The local authority for GU4 8 is Guildford, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,728 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,179 a month here against £2,520 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Guildford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,728 a month is £20,736 a year, which against the £582,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.6%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: GU prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the GU area, 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.
| 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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
