The going rate for a home in GU5 0
Take the 26 registered 2026 sales in GU5 0 and the middle price, the median, is £583,800. The mean lands at £727,300, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
GU5 0 prices by floor area
The last five years of sales put GU5 0 at roughly £6,180 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so GU5 0 trades 105% above the country as a whole.

| 1996 | £145,000 | £305,799 | 123 |
| 1995 | £131,000 | £284,774 | 96 |
In cash terms the typical GU5 0 home went from £131,000 in 1995 to £583,800 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 105%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 35% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the GU5 0 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 2020 (+37.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−25.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −25.6% | −27.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.8% | −8.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.6% | −1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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 register shows 26 GU5 0 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 119 sales a year before the financial crisis and 72 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.
How GU5 0 trades
This is a thin market: 26 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. Within GU5, this sector trades 12% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
The rental side of GU5 0
GU5 0 falls under Waverley, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,445 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,047 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,341, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Waverley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,445 a month is £17,340 a year, which against the £583,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.0%. 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. 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%) |
