In cash terms the typical GU47 home went from £74,000 in 1995 to £455,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 183%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 12% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the GU47 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 (+16.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.7%). 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) | +2.2% | −0.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.6% | −2.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +0.9% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 33% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £609,500 against £146,200 for a flat, 4.2 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
GU47 recorded 212 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 560 sales a year before the financial crisis and 221 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 homes rent for around GU47
The local authority for GU47 is Bracknell Forest, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,490 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,087 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,421 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Bracknell Forest
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £455,000 median sold price, £1,490 a month is £17,880 a year, a gross yield of 3.9%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

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. 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.

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

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
