| 1996 | £67,000 | £141,300 | 329 |
| 1995 | £64,000 | £139,126 | 257 |
In cash terms the typical RG19 home went from £64,000 in 1995 to £337,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 143%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 22% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the RG19 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 (+25.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−9.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 34% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £488,800 against £170,000 for a flat, 2.9 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.3% | −8.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.3% | −4.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.4% | −2.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 200 RG19 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 456 sales a year before the financial crisis and 234 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.
The shape of the RG19 market
Among the 30 measurable districts of its area, RG19 ranks 28 by median price: towards the affordable end.
Rents around RG19
For renting purposes RG19 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 £337,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.6%. 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
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the RG area. 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 | — | £444,995 | £595,000 (+34%) | £830,000 (+39%) | £1,200,000 (+45%) |
| Semi-detached | £310,000 | £385,000 (+24%) | £455,500 (+18%) | £579,500 (+27%) | £784,000 (+35%) |

| Flat | £200,000 | £270,000 (+35%) | £409,950 (+52%) | £638,750 (+56%) | — |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
