In cash terms the typical RH9 home went from £84,000 in 1995 to £465,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 155%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2023. The market now sits about 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the RH9 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 (+45.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−6.0%). 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) | +1.6% | −0.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +2.8% | −1.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
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, 36% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £750,000 against £310,000 for a flat, 2.4 times the price.

How many homes change hands in RH9
The year-by-year sales count
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 monthly pulse, last five years
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, 56 sales completed in RH9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 106 sales a year before the financial crisis and 60 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 RH9 market
This is a thin market: 56 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.
What homes rent for around RH9
RH9 falls under Tandridge, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,622 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,147 a month here against £2,803 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Tandridge
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,622 a month is £19,464 a year, which against the £465,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.2%. 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.

The RH9 sales calendar
Across the 373 sales completed in RH9 from 2021 to 2025, March was the busiest month for completions (12.9% of the total) and December the quietest (6.4%). 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.

Moving up a bedroom in RH: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the RH area, 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.
| 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.
