Aldermaston market report RG7 3, Reading
The RG7 3 (Aldermaston) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 5,309 registered sales in RG7 3 (Reading) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 42 registered 2026 sales put the RG7 3 (Reading) median at £403,800, down 12% on five years earlier, with a mean of £452,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,580 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 5,309 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
RG7 3 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 3 home went from £90,000 in 1995 to £403,800 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 106%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 31% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the RG7 3 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 1998 (+23.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−14.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −13.2% | −15.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.6% | −7.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.6% | −2.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.7% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
RG7 3 recorded 42 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 217 sales a year before the financial crisis and 121 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.
Reading the RG7 3 market
Only 42 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes RG7 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the RG7 district median, RG7 3 sits 13% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
The rental side of RG7 3
The local authority for RG7 3 is West Berkshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,290 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £902 a month here against £2,121 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, West Berkshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £403,800 median sold price, £1,290 a month is £15,480 a year, a gross yield of 3.8%: 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.

What another bedroom costs in RG
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.
