A typical Camberley home sells for around £430,000. The detached houses sell for a lot more than that. Flats are where anything like a bargain lives. Prices are still going up. It's middle-of-Surrey money, and plenty of people pay it without admitting it hurts.
The Land Registry recorded 391 sales in the year to May 2026, at a median of £433,000. The headline hides a wide spread. Detached houses changed hands at a median of £740,000 across 139 sales. Semis sold for about £436,000, terraces for £378,000 and flats for £225,000. Terraces are the thinnest part of the market with only 53 sales, so anyone set on a terrace should be ready to wait for one. Most of the money in this town goes into detached houses, and the median gets pulled up with it.
The house price index for the area put the average at about £457,000 as of May 2026, up 6% on the year before. Flats rose more slowly, by about 4% over the same period. That's a steady year for houses and a slower one for flats. The index is describing what already happened. It isn't promising anything about next year.
Council tax is mostly Band D, which costs about £2,585 a year. Only about 10% of homes are in Bands A and B, so there are very few cheap bills to find. The council-tax list reflects the housing: built to be comfortable, and taxed on that basis.
Renting across Surrey Heath costs about £1,500 a month. That's the average private rent from the Office for National Statistics index as of April 2026, covering the whole local-authority area rather than Camberley alone, and it was up about 2% on the year. By size, one-bed homes average about £1,030 a month, two-beds £1,330, three-beds £1,610 and four-beds or bigger £2,410. There's no reliable figure for studios or single rooms, so any listing claiming Camberley's going rate for a room is making it up.
Median gross household income, before tax, was about £72,000 in the financial year to March 2023, as modelled by the Office for National Statistics. That's a healthy figure, and it's also a few years old now while house prices haven't stood still. A dual-income couple on that kind of money can reach a flat or a terrace. A detached house is still a stretch, and the people buying them tend to be selling something big elsewhere or carrying a lot of equity from their last purchase.
Measured by space, the median sale price was about £4,700 per square metre, with the typical home behind that figure at around 104 square metres. That covers the 74% of sales in the year to May 2026 that could be matched to an energy certificate's floor area, so it's a close guide but not a complete count. What that money usually buys is a good-sized family house rather than a compact flat, which fits the rest of the town.
The 2021 census shows how the town is sized. About 10% of households have one bedroom, 21% have two, 30% have three and 39% have four or more. The four-bedroom home is the biggest single category, which helps explain the detached median. First-time buyers looking for a two-bed have about a fifth of the stock to pick from, and they're competing with downsizers who want exactly the same thing.
Camberley is fairly priced but not cheap. The money gets you space and quiet rather than character, and whether that's a fair trade depends on how much you wanted the fourth bedroom.
