Today's RG42 prices, from the sold record
The RG42 median stands at £465,000 for 2026, built from 157 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £497,200, modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.
RG42 prices by floor area
The last five years of sales put RG42 at roughly £5,200 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.

In cash terms the typical RG42 home went from £100,000 in 1995 to £465,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 114%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 21% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the RG42 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 2016 (+23.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−7.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.0% | −9.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.7% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.5% | −1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 39% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £635,000 against £286,800 for a flat, 2.2 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 357 sales completed in RG42. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 739 sales a year before the financial crisis and 468 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.
The rental side of RG42
For renting purposes RG42 sits in Bracknell Forest. The ONS average private rent there is £1,490 a month (May 2026). 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 £465,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,490 a month (£17,880 a year) works out at a 3.8% 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.
RG42 (Binfield): the questions that come up
Is RG42 (Binfield) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in RG42 (Binfield)?
Are property prices falling in RG42 (Binfield)?
Are RG42 prices heading up or down?

The price of an extra bedroom in RG
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the RG area. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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%) |
| Terraced | £295,000 | £340,000 (+15%) | £375,000 (+10%) | £485,000 (+29%) | £650,000 (+34%) |
| Flat | £200,000 | £270,000 (+35%) | £409,950 (+52%) | £638,750 (+56%) | — |
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.
