A typical sale in Brockham is about £635,000, and that's the middle of the market, not the bottom. Detached houses sell for over a million. Semis go for about six hundred thousand. Hardly any flats come up. Nobody moves here for a bargain.
The Land Registry recorded 55 sales in the Brockham area in the year to mid-May 2026, with a median of £635,000. The type of house changes the price more than anything else. The 18 detached houses that sold had a median of about £1,017,500. Semis were the most common sale, 24 of them, at about £600,000. The 9 terraces went for around £525,000, and the 4 flats for about £445,000. With only four flats sold all year, there's barely a flat market to speak of. The terrace is the cheapest realistic way in, and it still costs more than half a million.
Prices have been flat rather than rising. The house price index for the area moved up 0.7% in the twelve months to May 2026, which is barely a change, and dipped 0.9% in the final month. Flats in the same index fell 1.3% over the year. None of that means prices are about to drop. It means owners here are getting their money back rather than making a killing. The same index puts the change over five years at about 9%.
Council tax matches the house prices. The most common band here is G, and only 19% of homes fall in bands A or B. The band D bill in the area is about £2,520 a year, so a band G home pays a good deal more. If a listing somehow comes with a cheap band, check which house the band actually belongs to.
Rent figures are only available for the whole district. The typical private rent across the Mole Valley area is about £1,550 a month as of April 2026, up 1.9% over the year. That's an average of rents across Mole Valley, not a Brockham figure, and not a median of the listings you'll see. By size, a one-bedroom home averages about £1,135 a month, two bedrooms about £1,450, three bedrooms about £1,850 and four or more about £2,575. There are no figures for studios or single rooms, which fits a village that barely has either.
Local incomes don't explain the prices. The median gross household income here, before tax, was about £63,000 in the financial year to March 2023. Put that next to a median sale of £635,000 and it's clear most buyers aren't paying for a Brockham house out of a Brockham salary. They're paying with equity from a previous house, and the prices are set by people who have already sold one.
Measured by floor area, homes here sell for a median of about £6,150 per square metre, for a typical home of about 100 square metres. That figure covers only the sales that could be matched to a floor area on an energy certificate, 71% of them, so treat it as a close guide rather than a figure for every house. It's the fairest way to compare one house with another, because it strips out the premium for a large garden.
Most homes are built for families, whether or not families live in them. The 2021 Census puts 35% of homes at three bedrooms and 28% at four or more, with 27% at two bedrooms and only 10% at one. A first-time buyer looking for a small starter home will find very few here. Whether the buyer is starting out or downsizing, the smallest homes are the hardest thing to find.
Houses in Brockham are poor value for money. Pay for the countryside if that's what you want, and don't expect the house to be a bargain on top.
