In cash terms the typical RG42 1 home went from £65,500 in 1995 to £437,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 207%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs.
Year-on-year change in the RG42 1 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 (+30.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What RG42 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +17.4% | +14.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +7.1% | +2.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.3% | +1.4% |
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.
How many homes change hands in RG42 1
How many homes change hands
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 18 sales completed in RG42 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 105 sales a year before the financial crisis and 57 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
How RG42 1 trades
This is a thin market: 18 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 homes rent for around RG42 1
RG42 1 falls under Bracknell Forest, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,490 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,087 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,421 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Bracknell Forest
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £437,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,490 a month (£17,880 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.

Moving up a bedroom in RG: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the RG area, from the Land Registry record. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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%) |
