In cash terms the typical GU7 3 home went from £75,400 in 1995 to £450,200 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 175%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 17% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the GU7 3 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 1998 (+23.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What GU7 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.2% | −6.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
GU7 3 recorded 62 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 181 sales a year before the financial crisis and 123 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.
Rents around GU7 3
For renting purposes GU7 3 sits in Waverley. The ONS average private rent there is £1,445 a month (May 2026). 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.
Against the £450,200 median purchase price, a rent of £1,445 a month (£17,340 a year) works out at a 3.9% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

What another bedroom costs in GU
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the GU area. 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.
