In cash terms the typical KT8 2 home went from £81,000 in 1995 to £457,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 160%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 17% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the KT8 2 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 (+26.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−7.2%). 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) | +1.7% | −0.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +0.9% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
How many homes change hands in KT8 2
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
KT8 2 recorded 32 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 202 sales a year before the financial crisis and 90 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 tenants pay around KT8 2
KT8 2 falls under Elmbridge, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,831 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,222 a month here against £2,797 for four or more bedrooms.
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 £457,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.8%. 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.
How KT8 2 trades
This is a thin market: 32 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. Within KT8, this sector trades 21% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

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%) |

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.
