RG7 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside RG7 (Reading). 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.

In cash terms the typical RG7 1 home went from £105,000 in 1995 to £460,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 102%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the RG7 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 (+30.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−8.4%). 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) | −2.6% | −4.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.4% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.2% | −2.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Sales activity in RG7 1
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 73 sales completed in RG7 1. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 172 sales a year recently, against 161 a year before 2008. 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.
What homes rent for around RG7 1
The local authority for RG7 1 is Wokingham, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,482 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,065 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,329 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Wokingham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £460,000 median sold price, £1,482 a month is £17,784 a year, a gross yield of 3.9%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in RG: the cost
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £444,995 | £595,000 (+34%) | £830,000 (+39%) | £1,200,000 (+45%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
