In cash terms the typical RG26 home went from £70,000 in 1995 to £390,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 156%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 14% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the RG26 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 1999 (+23.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−6.4%). 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 detached houses dominate the record here, 37% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £570,000 against £202,000 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

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.
The turnover behind the prices
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
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 291 sales completed in RG26. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 505 sales a year before the financial crisis and 285 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.
Rents around RG26
For renting purposes RG26 sits in Basingstoke and Deane. The ONS average private rent there is £1,317 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £936 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,080 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Basingstoke and Deane
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £390,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,317 a month (£15,804 a year) works out at a 4.1% 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.

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. 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%) |

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.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
