Source: 4,373 completed sales on the HM Land Registry record since 1995, updated with each monthly release. No valuations, no asking prices.

RG42 3 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside RG42 (Bracknell). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

What buyers actually paid in RG42 3

Take the 31 registered 2026 sales in RG42 3 and the middle price, the median, is £370,000. The mean lands at £434,200, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.

What a square metre costs in RG42 3

Measured by floor area, the last five years of RG42 3 sales average about £5,500 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.

England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving RG42 3 30% above the national figure.

In cash terms the typical RG42 3 home went from £112,500 in 1995 to £370,000 in 2026, roughly 3.3 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 51%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 35% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.

The strongest year on record here is 2000 (+24.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−20.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

What RG42 3 has returned, per year

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.

Sales activity in RG42 3

RG42 3 recorded 31 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 191 sales a year before the financial crisis and 63 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 RG42 3

For renting purposes RG42 3 sits in Bracknell Forest. The ONS average private rent there is £1,490 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £1,087 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,421, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

Set against the £370,000 median sold price, £1,490 a month is £17,880 a year, a gross yield of 4.8%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

The shape of the RG42 3 market

Only 31 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes RG42 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the RG42 district median, RG42 3 sits 20% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

What people ask about RG42 3 (Binfield)

Will RG42 3 prices rise from here?

Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is down 6% over five years in cash but down 26% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
