In cash terms the typical RH2 home went from £82,000 in 1995 to £550,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 209%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 20% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the RH2 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 (+28.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−10.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 30% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £995,000 against £305,000 for a flat, 3.3 times the price.

| Type | Median (2026) | Sales that year | All-time sales |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £995,000 | 29 | 3,859 |
| Semi-detached | £642,500 | 44 | 4,413 |
| Terraced | £537,500 | 30 | 2,705 |
| Flats | £305,000 | 43 | 4,740 |
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.8% | −7.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +0.8% |
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.
How many homes change hands in RH2
How many homes change hands
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.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 309 sales completed in RH2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 606 sales a year before the financial crisis and 370 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.
How RH2 trades
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. RH2 sits 5 of 20 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
The rental side of RH2
RH2 falls under Reigate and Banstead, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,636 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,138 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,556, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Reigate and Banstead
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £550,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,636 a month (£19,632 a year) works out at a 3.6% 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.
RH2 (Woodhatch): the questions that come up
Is RH2 (Woodhatch) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in RH2 (Woodhatch)?
Are property prices falling in RH2 (Woodhatch)?
Are RH2 prices heading up or down?
The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is up 10% over five years in cash but down 13% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.
On the market in RH2 today
Everything above is what homes in RH2 sold for. The live side of the market holds 201 homes at the moment, listed by 9 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 64% above the RH2 median sold price.
21% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

What another bedroom costs in RH
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the RH 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 | — | £450,000 | £610,000 (+36%) | £870,000 (+43%) | £1,237,500 (+42%) |
| Semi-detached | £325,000 | £405,000 (+25%) | £475,000 (+17%) | £606,500 (+28%) | £882,500 (+46%) |
| Terraced | £315,000 | £365,000 (+16%) | £410,000 (+12%) | £530,000 (+29%) | £720,000 (+36%) |
| Flat | £206,436 | £270,000 (+31%) | £395,000 (+46%) | £545,000 (+38%) | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
