The raw material for this page is 9,522 HM Land Registry entries for RH4 (Dorking), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.

The postcode district RH4 covering Dorking, Pixham, Westcott sits in Dorking. A district is the workhorse unit for reading a market: local enough to be meaningful, busy enough that the medians rest on a steady flow of sales.

Today's RH4 prices, from the sold record
The 2026 median for RH4 is £450,000, taken from 99 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £541,000, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.
RH4 prices by floor area
The last five years of sales put RH4 at roughly £5,590 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so RH4 trades 58% above the country as a whole.

| 1996 | £88,000 | £185,588 | 346 |
| 1995 | £82,500 | £179,342 | 225 |
In cash terms the typical RH4 home went from £82,500 in 1995 to £450,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 151%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 22% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the RH4 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 (+21.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−21.2%). 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) | +1.2% | −3.5% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +1.0% | −3.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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 flats dominate the record here, 30% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £987,500 against £265,000 for a flat, 3.7 times the price.

How many homes change hands in RH4
Sales per year, counted
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 last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 174 sales completed in RH4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 360 sales a year before the financial crisis and 219 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.
The rental side of RH4
The local authority for RH4 is Mole Valley, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,548 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,136 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,575 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Mole Valley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £450,000 median sold price, £1,548 a month is £18,576 a year, a gross yield of 4.1%: 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 kind of market RH4 is
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.

Is RH4 (Pixham) a good place to buy a house?
Are RH4 prices heading up or down?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 6% over five years in cash but down 16% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
On the market in RH4 today
Everything above is what homes in RH4 sold for. This is what you could actually buy today: 127 homes currently on the market from 3 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 17% above the RH4 median sold price.
At the pace of the last twelve months' registered sales (174 in RH4), the 127 homes listed here amount to about 9 months of supply. Not every agent publishes to HomesIndex, so the true figure is higher. A queue that long means homes are being offered faster than they are taken, and the pricing power sits with the buyer.
7% 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.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Listed against sold: the RH4 mix
Terraced homes are 26% of what sold in RH4 over 2024 and 2025 but only 0% 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 | 32% | 17% |
| Semi-detached | 27% | 26% |
| Terraced | 0% | 26% |
| Flats | 41% | 31% |
Listings are the homes agents publish to HomesIndex today; sales are HM Land Registry registrations. A listing whose type does not say detached, semi-detached, terraced or flat (a plain "house", a bungalow, a park home) is left out of the listing shares.
Month by month: when RH4 sells
June is when RH4 changes hands most (12.0% of the 1,368 sales dated 2021 to 2025); April is the quiet end at 5.6%. 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 | 113 | 8.3% |
| February | 95 | 6.9% |
| March | 154 | 11.3% |
| April | 76 | 5.6% |
| May | 89 | 6.5% |

The price of an extra bedroom in RH
Real sold prices by size across the RH area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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 | £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%) |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
