In cash terms the typical RG42 2 home went from £76,000 in 1995 to £438,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 165%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 7% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.

Year-on-year change in the RG42 2 median

The strongest year on record here is 1997 (+39.8% on the year before); the weakest, 1999 (−6.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

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.

Over the last twelve months of data, 33 sales completed in RG42 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 184 sales a year before the financial crisis and 65 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.

What kind of market RG42 2 is

This is a thin market: 33 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.

Rents around RG42 2

RG42 2 falls under Bracknell Forest, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,490 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,087 a month here against £2,421 for four or more bedrooms.

£1,490 a month is £17,880 a year, which against the £438,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.1%. 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 price of an extra bedroom in RG

Real sold prices by size across the RG area, straight 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.
