RG14 1 is one sector of RG14 (Newbury): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

The going rate for a home in RG14 1
The 2026 median for RG14 1 is £250,000, taken from 43 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £333,800, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
Price per square metre in RG14 1
The last five years of sales put RG14 1 at roughly £4,120 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, RG14 1 runs 12% below it.

In cash terms the typical RG14 1 home went from £64,000 in 1995 to £250,000 in 2026, roughly 3.9 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 80%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2018. The market now sits about 39% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the RG14 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 2002 (+34.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−20.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What RG14 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −20.6% | −22.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.7% | −7.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.1% | −3.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.4% |
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 RG14 1
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 43 RG14 1 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 151 sales a year before the financial crisis and 102 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.
Reading the RG14 1 market
Only 43 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes RG14 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Within RG14, this sector trades 30% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
The rental side of RG14 1
RG14 1 falls under West Berkshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,290 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £902 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,121, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, West Berkshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,290 a month is £15,480 a year, which against the £250,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.2%. 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.

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.
The price of an extra bedroom in RG
Real sold prices by size across the RG 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £444,995 | £595,000 (+34%) | £830,000 (+39%) | £1,200,000 (+45%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
