Redhill market report RH
The standing RH (Redhill) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 318,562 sales registered with HM Land Registry in the RH postcode area (Redhill) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales data to August 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh. Page updated 19 October 2026.
In short: the 2026 median for the RH postcode area (Redhill) is £427,500, from 3,592 registered sales, up 6% on five years earlier; the mean is £483,800, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,880 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 318,562 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
The figures for RH centred on Redhill run across 20 districts, the broad sweep by design. For a specific place, drop down to its district report below.

3,592 sales were registered in RH in 2026, and the middle one of them, the median, went for £427,500. The mean works out at £483,800, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.
What a square metre costs in RH
Per square metre, RH homes have averaged around £4,880 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.
Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, RH runs 50% above it.

| 1995 | £74,000 | £160,865 | 9,168 |
In cash terms the typical RH home went from £74,000 in 1995 to £427,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 166%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 17% 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 RH 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 (+17.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−6.3%). 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 year (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.6% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +1.4% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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, 28% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £655,000 against £235,000 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

Sales activity in RH
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 6,440 RH sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 12,107 sales a year before the financial crisis and 7,525 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.
Rents around RH
The local authority for RH is Horsham, the local authority covering most of the RH area (parts fall under Mid Sussex and Reigate and Banstead, where rents differ), and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,455 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,009 a month here against £2,400 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Horsham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,455 a month is £17,460 a year, which against the £427,500 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.

What happens to RH prices now?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 6% over five years in cash but down 17% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
RH's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in RH sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 589 homes on the market right now, from 7 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 5% above the RH median sold price.
Set against 6,440 registered sales in the last twelve months, the 589 homes on the market here are roughly 5 weeks of supply at last year's pace, and more in reality, since only agents who publish to HomesIndex are counted. Supply that short favours the seller; a sensibly priced home here does not sit for long.
14% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
- Bones Lane, Newchapel, Lingfield
- Crawley, West Sussex, West Sussex
- London Road, Balcombe, Haywards Heath, West Sussex
"Under comparable sales" compares each asking price with what similar homes nearby actually sold for. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a valuation. Always look at the home itself.

What is for sale against what sells in RH
Terraced homes are 24% of what sold in RH over 2024 and 2025 but only 4% of what is listed now: they sell, and there are few to choose from, so a good one is unlikely to hang about.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 31% | 28% |
| Semi-detached | 23% | 26% |
| Terraced | 4% | 24% |
| Flats | 42% | 22% |
The listing shares count homes published to HomesIndex by agents today; the sales shares count HM Land Registry registrations. Listings typed only as "house", "bungalow" or similar, which the register would file under one of the four forms, are excluded from the listing side (86 of them here).
The RH sales calendar
March is when RH changes hands most (11.6% of the 46,447 sales dated 2021 to 2025); April is the quiet end at 6.6%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 3,265 | 7.0% |
| February | 3,679 | 7.9% |
| March | 5,390 | 11.6% |
| April | 3,082 | 6.6% |

The price of an extra bedroom in RH
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the RH area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £415,000 | £470,000 (+13%) | £555,000 (+18%) | £700,000 (+26%) | £915,000 (+31%) |
| Semi-detached | £365,000 | £405,000 (+11%) | £450,000 (+11%) | £530,000 (+18%) | £655,000 (+24%) |
| Terraced | £288,000 | £345,000 (+20%) | £380,000 (+10%) | £475,000 (+25%) | £575,000 (+21%) |
| Flat | £197,250 | £255,000 (+29%) | £340,000 (+33%) | £402,500 (+18%) | £570,000 (+42%) |
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.

Behind the answers sits the same Land Registry record as this page, with RH already set as the subject. Free, one click sign in.
The live map plots every individual RH sale at its exact address, and the average prices map zooms from neighbourhood shading to single homes. For a specific question, the report tool writes a custom answer, and any sale's mortgage and rent calculator runs the numbers on a real purchase.
Method, briefly: HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0) supplies every sale, geocoded to address level; CPIH from the ONS restates prices in today's money; ONS local-authority figures supply the rents. Medians of real sales, not valuations. No part of this page is financial advice.
