Our take · opinion, not advice

Our take on GU23: a quiet market, so take your time

GU23 is a thin market, at roughly 11 sales a month, so no single figure here should carry much weight, and the individual sold homes are the better guide.

If you are selling, a spread from £339,000 to £1,250,500 makes £648,250 a poor guide to any one home, so benchmark against near-identical homes, not the headline; sales are too rare here to hurry, so give the price a local agent’s sense-check; cash buyers typically offer around 70–85% of market value (a rough guide, not a quote), which only makes sense if certainty is worth that much to you.

Sell house

If you are buying, on price, GU23 is well above the UK average, so a premium over the average needs a reason you can see in the sold homes of the same type.

Our checklist before an offer: what has been applied for nearby (281 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and council tax (Band D is £2,547 a year), plus the title, which your conveyancer should review.

The sold prices leave a lot open; the free GU23 OfferCheck closes some of the gap with flood, crime, planning and council tax.

In plain English

What the Guildford (GU23) numbers mean

  • The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £890,000 against £285,000 for flats: about 3.1 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
  • Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £339,000 and £1,250,500, so the median says little about any one home.
  • Nearly all of these sales (92%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.

Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.

  • This is a quiet district: only about 11 recorded sales a month.

Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so GU23 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in GU23: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row.

What it costs to run a home in GU23, band by band

Guildford's council tax for 2026-27 set against the GU23 median sold price of £648,250 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.

Questions, answered

The GU23 report: your questions

What is the average house price in GU23?
The typical (median) sold price in GU23 is £648,250, from 250 recorded sales between 13 September 2024 and 12 August 2026. Most sales fell between £339,000 and £1,250,500. That is well above the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index averages). A median is the middle sale, so a few very expensive homes do not pull it up the way they pull up an average.
What does each type of home cost in GU23?
Typical sold prices by type in GU23: detached homes £890,000 (120 sales), semi-detached homes £562,750 (82 sales), terraced homes £521,000 (21 sales), flats £285,000 (17 sales). Use the figure for your type of home rather than the all-homes median.
How much is council tax in GU23?
GU23 is billed by Guildford, whose Band D charge for 2026-27 is £2,547 a year. Every band from A to H is listed on this page. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and there is no free per-address dataset for it, so we never guess an individual home's band. Look it up on GOV.UK and read your row.
Which schools are near GU23?
The Department for Education's register lists 3 open schools within 3 km of the GU23 district centre, the nearest being Ripley Court School. These are nearest by straight-line distance from the district centroid. They are not catchment or admission areas, which councils set individually and do not publish centrally.
How up to date are the GU23 sold prices?
Sold prices come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, covering sales up to 28 August 2026. The store is rebuilt monthly. New sales can take several weeks to appear in the official register after completion, so the very latest transactions may not show yet.
Is GU23 a deprived area?
On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, the 12 GU23 postcodes we sampled (the ones with the most recent recorded sales, not a random sample) run from decile 5 to decile 10, with a median of decile 7 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. Deprivation is published for small areas, not postcode districts, so a district like GU23 usually spans several. It is area context, never a judgement on an individual home.
Have there been planning applications near GU23?
The last check of the local planning authority register found 281 applications within 500 m of the GU23 district centre; the most recent are listed on this page with their reference, description and status as the authority published them. For an up-to-the-minute search, use the planning tool with your full postcode.
Can I see what an individual address in GU23 sold for?
Yes. This page lists the 24 most recently sold doors of the 236 distinct addresses in the records we hold for GU23, each with its price and date. Addresses come from recorded sales since 1995, so a home that has never been sold does not appear; and we link an address to its own property page only where the match is certain, never by guessing.
Does GU23 cover my exact street?
GU23 is the outward half of the postcode and covers the whole district, so the district-wide figures on this page are medians and ranges, not a valuation of any single property. The address list gives you the door-level picture, and the free checks take a full postcode.
