In cash terms the typical KT21 1 home went from £117,500 in 1995 to £770,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 202%: 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 14% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the KT21 1 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 2000 (+33.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−16.2%). 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) | −1.2% | −3.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +0.9% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 26 sales completed in KT21 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 106 sales a year before the financial crisis and 57 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What kind of market KT21 1 is
This is a thin market: 26 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict.
What tenants pay around KT21 1
The local authority for KT21 1 is Mole Valley, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,548 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,136 a month here against £2,575 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Mole Valley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £770,500 median sold price, £1,548 a month is £18,576 a year, a gross yield of 2.4%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

The price of an extra bedroom in KT
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.
