| 1996 | £96,200 | £202,881 | 174 |
| 1995 | £89,000 | £193,472 | 90 |
In cash terms the typical RH7 home went from £89,000 in 1995 to £565,200 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 192%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 9% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the RH7 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 1997 (+42.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.8%). 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, 40% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £680,000 against £215,000 for a flat, 3.2 times the price.

Annualised returns

| 1 year (since 2025) | +19.0% | +16.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.9% | −1.8% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +5.3% | +0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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.
Sales activity in RH7
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
RH7 recorded 81 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 149 sales a year before the financial crisis and 89 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 shape of the RH7 market
Only 81 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes RH7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Detached homes made up 46% of last year's sales, an unusually house-heavy mix that keeps the median well above what a flat or terrace here goes for. RH7 sits 4 of 20 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
What tenants pay around RH7
RH7 falls under Tandridge, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,622 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,147 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,803, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Tandridge
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £565,200 median purchase price, a rent of £1,622 a month (£19,464 a year) works out at a 3.4% 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.

Is RH7 (Dormansland) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in RH7 (Dormansland)?
Are RH7 prices heading up or down?
Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is up 15% over five years in cash but down 9% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.
What is for sale in RH7 right now
Everything above is what homes in RH7 sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 7 homes on the market right now, from 2 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 6% above the RH7 median sold price.
At the pace of the last twelve months' registered sales (81 in RH7), the 7 homes listed here amount to about 4 weeks of supply. Not every agent publishes to HomesIndex, so the true figure is higher. That is a thin shelf: buyers here are choosing from little, and a well priced home is unlikely to wait long.
57% 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.
Month by month: when RH7 sells
March is when RH7 changes hands most (11.7% of the 564 sales dated 2021 to 2025); July is the quiet end at 5.1%. That is a marked seasonal rhythm. A sale completes weeks after it is agreed, so the busy month reflects deals struck earlier in the year; a seller who wants competition should be on the market ahead of it.

| February | 40 | 7.1% |

The price of an extra bedroom in RH
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 | £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%) |
