In cash terms the typical RG14 5 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £316,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 165%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 16% below that. Someone who bought at the 2017 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the RG14 5 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 2026 (+34.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−17.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +34.7% | +31.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.9% | +1.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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, 46 sales completed in RG14 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 188 sales a year before the financial crisis and 89 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 5 market
This is a thin market: 46 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. Within RG14, this sector trades 11% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What homes rent for around RG14 5
For renting purposes RG14 5 sits in West Berkshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,290 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £902 a month here against £2,121 for four or more bedrooms.
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 £316,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.9%. 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: RG prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the RG area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

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

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.
