In cash terms the typical RH20 home went from £103,000 in 1995 to £500,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 123%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 23% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the RH20 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 1999 (+22.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What RH20 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.0% | −0.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.2% | −4.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.9% | −1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 57% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £645,000 against £210,000 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
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
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 359 RH20 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 602 sales a year before the financial crisis and 345 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.
What tenants pay around RH20
RH20 falls under Horsham, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,455 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,009 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,400 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Horsham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £500,000 median sold price, £1,455 a month is £17,460 a year, a gross yield of 3.5%: 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: RH prices by size
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%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
