The raw material for this page is 2,520 HM Land Registry entries for GU47 8 (Sandhurst), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 28 registered 2026 sales put the GU47 8 (Sandhurst) median at £492,500, down 11% on five years earlier, with a mean of £495,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,730 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 2,520 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
GU47 8 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside GU47 (Sandhurst). 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.

In cash terms the typical GU47 8 home went from £88,800 in 1995 to £492,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 155%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 30% 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 GU47 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 2000 (+21.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2022 (−15.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +5.9% | +3.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.4% | −6.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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.
Sales activity in GU47 8
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, 28 sales completed in GU47 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 99 sales a year before the financial crisis and 50 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 rental side of GU47 8
GU47 8 falls under Bracknell Forest, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,490 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,087 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,421, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Bracknell Forest
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,490 a month is £17,880 a year, which against the £492,500 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.
Reading the GU47 8 market
This is a thin market: 28 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 GU47, this sector trades 8% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

GU47's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 23 homes at the moment, listed by 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex.

30% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

The price of an extra bedroom in GU
What homes of each size actually sold for across the GU area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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%) |
| Terraced | £315,000 | £368,500 (+17%) | £420,000 (+14%) | £550,000 (+31%) | £810,000 (+47%) |
| Flat | £205,000 | £279,000 (+36%) | £420,000 (+51%) | £590,000 (+40%) | — |
Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
