In cash terms the typical SM7 3 home went from £100,000 in 1995 to £625,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 188%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 13% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SM7 3 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 2013 (+24.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−14.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +4.2% | +1.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.4% | −1.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.3% | +1.5% |
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 SM7 3
Sales per year, counted
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, 17 sales completed in SM7 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 96 sales a year before the financial crisis and 54 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.
Rents around SM7 3
The local authority for SM7 3 is Reigate and Banstead, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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 £625,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.1%. 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 shape of the SM7 3 market
Only 17 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SM7 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

How much did a house sell for in SM7 3 (Woodmansterne)?
Are property prices falling in SM7 3 (Woodmansterne)?
Is SM7 3 (Woodmansterne) a good place to buy a house?

The price of an extra bedroom in SM
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SM area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £574,000 | £775,000 (+35%) | £1,030,000 (+33%) | £1,382,500 (+34%) |
| Semi-detached | £385,000 | £505,000 (+31%) | £610,000 (+21%) | £738,750 (+21%) | £884,000 (+20%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
