In cash terms the typical RH3 home went from £110,000 in 1995 to £577,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 142%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 33% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the RH3 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 (+33.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−15.5%). 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 detached houses dominate the record here, 39% of the typed total. In 2017, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £700,000 against £385,000 for a flat, 1.8 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −13.2% | −15.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.8% | −5.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.9% | −2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 58 sales completed in RH3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 78 sales a year before the financial crisis and 51 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.
How RH3 trades
This is a thin market: 58 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. 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. Among the 20 measurable districts of its area, RH3 ranks 3 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.
The rental side of RH3
The local authority for RH3 is Mole Valley, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,548 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,136 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,575, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Mole Valley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £577,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,548 a month (£18,576 a year) works out at a 3.2% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in RH
Real sold prices by size across the RH area, straight 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
