GU7 1 sold prices: where the market stands
Across 65 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) GU7 1 home went for £481,500. The mean is £608,100, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
House prices per square metre in GU7 1
Measured by floor area, the last five years of GU7 1 sales average about £5,890 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so GU7 1 trades 69% above the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical GU7 1 home went from £90,000 in 1995 to £481,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 146%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2018. The market now sits about 29% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the GU7 1 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 2018 (+33.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2017 (−18.6%). 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) | −12.5% | −14.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.5% | −4.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.2% | −3.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 65 sales completed in GU7 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 214 sales a year before the financial crisis and 159 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The shape of the GU7 1 market
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.
Rents around GU7 1
For renting purposes GU7 1 sits in Waverley. The ONS average private rent there is £1,445 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £1,047 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,341 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Waverley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £481,500 median sold price, £1,445 a month is £17,340 a year, a gross yield of 3.6%: 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.

Is GU7 1 (Farncombe) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in GU7 1 (Farncombe)?
Are property prices falling in GU7 1 (Farncombe)?
Are GU7 1 prices heading up or down?

GU7's current homes for sale
This is what you could actually buy today: 196 homes currently on the market from 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: GU prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the GU area, straight 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%) |

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