In cash terms the typical RG31 4 home went from £75,000 in 1995 to £395,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 142%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2016, and today's median remains roughly 16% under it: a 2016 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the RG31 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 1999 (+22.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.3% | +0.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.9% | −0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.7% |
| 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.
Sales activity in RG31 4
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
RG31 4 recorded 15 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 92 sales a year before the financial crisis and 44 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.
What homes rent for around RG31 4
RG31 4 falls under West Berkshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,290 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £395,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.9%. 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.
The shape of the RG31 4 market
This is a thin market: 15 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
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
