| 1996 | £96,500 | £203,514 | 536 |
| 1995 | £95,200 | £206,950 | 394 |
In cash terms the typical KT8 home went from £95,200 in 1995 to £580,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 180%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the KT8 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 (+22.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−11.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +5.9% | +3.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.4% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +1.2% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 30% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £697,500 against £382,500 for a flat, 1.8 times the price.

Sales activity in KT8
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
KT8 recorded 200 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 489 sales a year before the financial crisis and 248 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around KT8
The local authority for KT8 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.
Against the £580,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,831 a month (£21,972 a year) works out at a 3.8% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Moving up a bedroom in KT: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the KT area. 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 | — | £555,000 | £795,000 (+43%) | £1,170,000 (+47%) | £1,600,000 (+37%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
