In cash terms the typical RH8 9 home went from £102,500 in 1995 to £441,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 98%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 38% below that. Someone who bought at the 2017 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the RH8 9 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 2010 (+43.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−26.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −26.7% | −28.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −4.4% | −8.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | 0.0% | −3.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.6% | −1.2% |
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.
Sales activity in RH8 9
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 24 sales completed in RH8 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 112 sales a year before the financial crisis and 78 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of RH8 9
The local authority for RH8 9 is Tandridge, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,622 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,147 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,803 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Tandridge
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £441,500 median sold price, £1,622 a month is £19,464 a year, a gross yield of 4.4%: 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.
The shape of the RH8 9 market
This is a thin market: 24 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within RH8, this sector trades 26% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

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