In cash terms the typical RH5 4 home went from £85,000 in 1995 to £440,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 138%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 24% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the RH5 4 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 (+18.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−15.6%). 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 years (since 2025) | +0.9% | −1.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.6% | −1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +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.
How many homes change hands in RH5 4
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 37 RH5 4 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 148 sales a year before the financial crisis and 89 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the RH5 4 market
This is a thin market: 37 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. Within RH5, this sector trades 20% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
The rental side of RH5 4
The local authority for RH5 4 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 £440,000 median sold price, £1,548 a month is £18,576 a year, a gross yield of 4.2%: 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%) |

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