In cash terms the typical KT8 1 home went from £85,500 in 1995 to £610,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 228%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the KT8 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 (+24.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−10.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What KT8 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.3% | +3.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.3% | +1.4% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
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, 24 sales completed in KT8 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 100 sales a year before the financial crisis and 60 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 KT8 1 trades
This is a thin market: 24 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.
The rental side of KT8 1
The local authority for KT8 1 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 £610,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.6%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: KT prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the KT area. 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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
