In cash terms the typical RH6 home went from £72,500 in 1995 to £430,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 173%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 20% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the RH6 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 (+20.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−5.1%). 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 semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 31% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £570,000 against £187,500 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.2% | −1.2% |

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.
The turnover behind the prices
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 last five years, month by month
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, 404 sales completed in RH6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 705 sales a year before the financial crisis and 506 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.
What homes rent for around RH6
RH6 falls under Reigate and Banstead, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,636 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,138 a month here against £2,556 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Reigate and Banstead
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,636 a month is £19,632 a year, which against the £430,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.6%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 20% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
RH6's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in RH6 sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 67 homes on the market right now, from 9 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 5% above the RH6 median sold price.
27% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
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.
Moving up a bedroom in RH: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the RH area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £450,000 | £610,000 (+36%) | £870,000 (+43%) | £1,237,500 (+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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
