The standing GU9 8 (Badshot Lea) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 5,606 registered sales in GU9 8 (Farnham) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents.

Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 60 registered 2026 sales put the GU9 8 (Farnham) median at £782,500, up 25% on five years earlier, with a mean of £863,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £5,820 per square metre over the last five years.

GU9 8 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside GU9 (Farnham). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical GU9 8 home went from £85,800 in 1995 to £782,500 in 2026, roughly 9 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 320%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs.
Year-on-year change in the GU9 8 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 2026 (+29.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−23.4%). 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) | +29.3% | +26.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.5% | −0.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +5.1% | +2.2% |
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.
Sales activity in GU9 8
The year-by-year sales count
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 register shows 60 GU9 8 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 214 sales a year before the financial crisis and 116 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
How GU9 8 trades
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 GU9, this sector trades 61% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Average monthly rent by size, Waverley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £782,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,445 a month (£17,340 a year) works out at a 2.2% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: GU prices by size
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
