RG28 sold prices: where the market stands
The 2026 median for RG28 is £435,000, taken from 37 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £493,200, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.
What a square metre costs in RG28
Measured by floor area, the last five years of RG28 sales average about £4,360 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so RG28 trades 53% above the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical RG28 home went from £69,500 in 1995 to £435,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 188%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2019; the current median sits about 9% below that. Someone who bought at the 2019 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the RG28 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 1998 (+28.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−4.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What RG28 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +8.7% | +6.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.0% | −1.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.8% | +0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 31% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £565,000 against £170,000 for a flat, 3.3 times the price.

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.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 86 RG28 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 121 sales a year before the financial crisis and 86 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 rental side of RG28
RG28 falls under Basingstoke and Deane, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,317 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £936 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,080, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Basingstoke and Deane
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £435,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,317 a month (£15,804 a year) works out at a 3.6% 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.
Reading the RG28 market
This is a thin market: 86 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.

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%) |

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.
