In cash terms the typical KT21 home went from £123,000 in 1995 to £730,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 173%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. 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 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 (+28.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What KT21 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.7% | −1.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.3% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 42% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £875,000 against £370,000 for a flat, 2.4 times the price.

Transaction volumes
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.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
KT21 recorded 134 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 275 sales a year before the financial crisis and 156 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.
Rents around KT21
The local authority for KT21 is Mole Valley, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,548 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,136 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,575, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Mole Valley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,548 a month is £18,576 a year, which against the £730,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.5%. 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 kind of market KT21 is
This is a thin market: 134 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. KT21 sits 4 of 24 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.

Moving up a bedroom in KT: the cost
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.
| 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%) |
| Semi-detached | £400,000 | £500,000 (+25%) | £635,000 (+27%) | £820,000 (+29%) | £1,165,000 (+42%) |
| Terraced | £390,000 | £475,000 (+22%) | £580,000 (+22%) | £750,000 (+29%) | £925,000 (+23%) |
| Flat | £275,000 | £375,000 (+36%) | £550,000 (+47%) | £880,000 (+60%) | — |
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.
