In cash terms the typical KT23 home went from £115,200 in 1995 to £651,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 160%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2016, and today's median remains roughly 23% under it: a 2016 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the KT23 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 (+29.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−11.5%). 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 detached houses dominate the record here, 52% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £845,000 against £283,000 for a flat, 3.0 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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 115 sales completed in KT23. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 204 sales a year before the financial crisis and 137 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.
What homes rent for around KT23
The local authority for KT23 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 £651,500 median sold price, £1,548 a month is £18,576 a year, a gross yield of 2.9%: 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.
What kind of market KT23 is
Only 115 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes KT23 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. This is detached-house territory: 45% of last year's sales were detached, which props the overall median well above the flat and terrace market underneath it. Among the 24 measurable districts of its area, KT23 ranks 6 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.

KT23's current homes for sale

"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

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.
KT23: the homes on offer and the homes that go
Semi-detached homes are 36% of what is listed in KT23 but 22% of what sold over 2024 and 2025: the market is being offered more of them than it has been taking, which tends to give a buyer of one room to talk.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 49% | 58% |
| Semi-detached | 36% | 22% |
| Terraced | 0% | 11% |
| Flats | 15% | 9% |
The listing shares count homes published to HomesIndex by agents today; the sales shares count HM Land Registry registrations. Listings typed only as "house", "bungalow" or similar, which the register would file under one of the four forms, are excluded from the listing side.
When homes in KT23 change hands
March is when KT23 changes hands most (11.1% of the 849 sales dated 2021 to 2025); May is the quiet end at 5.8%. That is a marked seasonal rhythm. A sale completes weeks after it is agreed, so the busy month reflects deals struck earlier in the year; a seller who wants competition should be on the market ahead of it.

Moving up a bedroom in KT: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the KT 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £530,000 | £625,000 (+18%) | £750,000 (+20%) | £955,000 (+27%) | £1,300,000 (+36%) |
| Semi-detached | £399,950 | £487,000 (+22%) | £600,000 (+23%) | £757,344 (+26%) | £900,000 (+19%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
