In cash terms the typical RG19 4 home went from £66,200 in 1995 to £325,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 126%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2016; the current median sits about 24% below that. Someone who bought at the 2016 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the RG19 4 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 (+30.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What RG19 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −8.5% | −10.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.5% | −5.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.6% | −2.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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
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.
The register shows 39 RG19 4 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 185 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.
Reading the RG19 4 market
This is a thin market: 39 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.
What tenants pay around RG19 4
For renting purposes RG19 4 sits in West Berkshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,290 a month (May 2026). 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 £325,000 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.

Moving up a bedroom in RG: the cost
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.
