In cash terms the typical KT12 home went from £82,100 in 1995 to £523,800 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 193%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 20% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the KT12 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 (+18.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.7%). 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, 31% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £930,000 against £300,000 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

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.
Sales activity in KT12
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The last five years, month by month
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 454 sales completed in KT12. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 959 sales a year before the financial crisis and 529 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.
The rental side of KT12
The local authority for KT12 is Elmbridge, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,831 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,222 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,797, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Elmbridge
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,831 a month is £21,972 a year, which against the £523,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.2%. 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.

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: KT prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the KT 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 | — | £555,000 | £795,000 (+43%) | £1,170,000 (+47%) | £1,600,000 (+37%) |
