Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on GU5: a quiet market, so take your time
GU5 has seen just 250 sales since August 2024, and prices are up on last year, but on few sales, so treat the rise as a hint rather than a trend.
If you are thinking of selling, most GU5 sales sit between £364,500 and £1,550,000, which makes £750,750 a blunt instrument, so price from sold homes that match yours in type and size; sales are too rare here to hurry, so give the price a local agent’s sense-check; a quick cash sale buys certainty at a cost, usually about 70–85% of market value as a rough guide, not a quote, so weigh it carefully.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, on price, GU5 is well above the UK average, and still climbing, so test the asking price against recent sold homes of the same type before you stretch to meet it.
Before an offer goes in on any GU5 home, look at what has been applied for nearby (17 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and council tax (Band D is £2,547 a year), and leave the title to your conveyancer.
Where the numbers are this loose, the free GU5 OfferCheck gives you something firmer to hold: flood, crime, planning and council tax, each with its source.

In plain English
What the Guildford (GU5) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £1,000,000 against £292,500 for flats: about 3.4 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £364,500 and £1,550,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (91%) 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 10 recorded sales a month.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled GU5 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 7 to decile 10, with a median of decile 10 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
GU5 0QN, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 10 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.

Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so GU5 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in GU5: 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. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

What it costs to run a home in GU5, band by band
Guildford's council tax for 2026-27 set against the GU5 median sold price of £750,750 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

| H | over £320,000 | £5,095 | £425 | 0.68% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the GU5 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. 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.
