Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on RH5: steady sales, so price from the evidence
250 sales since March 2025 make RH5 a steady market, and with no dependable year-on-year figure to hand, recent sold homes are a safer guide than any headline.
If you are selling, a spread from £267,950 to £1,182,500 makes £539,000 a poor guide to any one home, so benchmark against near-identical homes, not the headline; buyers can compare homes at this pace but are not spoilt for choice.
Sell houseIf you are buying, typical prices in RH5 sit well above the UK average, so compare any asking price with sold homes of the same type before you commit.
Our checklist before an offer: what has been applied for nearby (31 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and council tax (Band D is £2,547 a year), plus the title, which your conveyancer should review.
Where the numbers are this loose, the free RH5 OfferCheck gives you something firmer to hold: flood, crime, planning and council tax, each with its source.

In plain English
What the Guildford (RH5) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £935,000 against £235,000 for flats: about 4.0 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £267,950 and £1,182,500, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (90%) 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 15 recorded sales a month.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled RH5 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 6 to decile 9, with a median of decile 8 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
RH5 4JJ, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 8 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.
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 RH5 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in RH5: 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 RH5, band by band
Guildford's council tax for 2026-27 set against the RH5 median sold price of £539,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the RH5 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.
