KT16 prices by floor area

In cash terms the typical KT16 home went from £84,000 in 1995 to £420,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 130%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 22% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the KT16 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 1997 (+19.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−10.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −8.7% | −10.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.2% | −4.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.3% | −2.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 28% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £727,500 against £257,800 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
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 last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
KT16 recorded 260 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 418 sales a year before the financial crisis and 317 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.
How KT16 trades
By median price KT16 sits at the bottom of its postcode area: the cheapest way in, with the least expectation already in the price.
The rental side of KT16
The local authority for KT16 is Runnymede, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,575 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,076 a month here against £2,393 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Runnymede
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,575 a month is £18,900 a year, which against the £420,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.5%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in KT
Real sold prices by size across the KT area, straight 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £555,000 | £795,000 (+43%) | £1,170,000 (+47%) | £1,600,000 (+37%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
