In cash terms the typical GU7 home went from £81,000 in 1995 to £475,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 170%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2023; the current median sits about 21% below that. Someone who bought at the 2023 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the GU7 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 (+23.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−8.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 27% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £825,000 against £274,000 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

What GU7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.4% | −5.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.9% | −1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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.
How many homes change hands in GU7
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.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 349 GU7 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 536 sales a year before the financial crisis and 398 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 tenants pay around GU7
The local authority for GU7 is Waverley, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,445 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,047 a month here against £2,341 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Waverley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £475,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,445 a month (£17,340 a year) works out at a 3.7% 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
Real sold prices by size across the GU area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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%) |

| Flat | £205,000 | £279,000 (+36%) | £420,000 (+51%) | £590,000 (+40%) | — |
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.
