| 1995 | £109,200 | £237,384 | 310 |
In cash terms the typical SM7 home went from £109,200 in 1995 to £625,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 163%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 16% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SM7 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 2000 (+17.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−4.7%). 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 years (since 2025) | −1.6% | −3.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 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 detached houses dominate the record here, 34% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £870,000 against £340,000 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
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.
SM7 recorded 197 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 425 sales a year before the financial crisis and 223 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 kind of market SM7 is
SM7 is currently the dearest district of its postcode area by median price.
What homes rent for around SM7
The local authority for SM7 is Reigate and Banstead, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,636 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,138 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,556 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
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 price of an extra bedroom in SM
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SM 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 | — | £574,000 | £775,000 (+35%) | £1,030,000 (+33%) | £1,382,500 (+34%) |

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.
