Close to a million, and that's the middle of the market. Detached houses clear seven figures. Most homes have four bedrooms or more. The flats are the only cheap door, and there aren't many of those. East Horsley was built to be expensive and has never lost the habit.
In the Land Registry's twelve months to mid-May 2026, 74 homes sold in East Horsley at a median of about £923,000. Detached houses made up 52 of those sales at a median of about £1,099,000. The 11 semis sold for around £665,000, the 8 flats for around £270,000, and the 3 terraced houses for around £380,000. Three sales can't really set a price, so read the terraced figure as a sighting. The market here is the detached house, and everything else is a footnote to it.
The published house price index for the wider index area put the average price at about £522,000 in May 2026, down about 6% over the previous twelve months. Flats in that index fell further, down about 8% over the same year. Both figures cover a wider patch than the village and describe the year just gone, not the next one. For a village where the detached house is the norm, a fall across the wider area helps the negotiation more than it makes anything cheap.
Council tax follows the same logic. Band G is the most common band, and only about 2% of homes sit in bands A or B. A band D bill in the area runs to about £2,550 a year, which is the figure to compare against your current one. Most East Horsley buyers won't be paying band D, though. The typical house here was valued two bands higher before anyone moved in.
There's no rent figure for East Horsley on its own. The typical private rent across the Guildford area is about £1,720 a month as of April 2026. That's a mean from the Office for National Statistics rent index, covering the whole borough rather than this village's own lets. By size, one-bed homes average about £1,170 a month, two-beds about £1,520, three-beds about £1,840 and four-beds or larger about £2,510. In a village made mostly of big detached houses, that last band is the one that applies to the typical home, and it's rarely on the market to rent at all.
Local incomes are high, and the prices are higher. Median household income was about £89,000 before tax in the financial year to March 2023, an Office for National Statistics estimate averaged across the area. For a detached house at around £1.1 million, that income needs either a very large deposit or a previous house doing most of the paying. East Horsley sells well to people who already own something. Everyone else finds it a stretch.
Across the sales that could be matched to an energy certificate's floor area, which covers about 39% of them, the median price was about £6,090 per square metre, with a typical floor area of about 112 square metres. So buyers aren't only paying for space. They're paying a village premium on every square metre of it.
The 2021 census bedroom count explains where the money goes. About 57% of households live in homes with four or more bedrooms, 25% have three, 15% have two and only 4% have one. Anyone searching for a starter home here is looking for the smallest slice of the village. The spare rooms outnumber the people who need them, and they're all included in the price.
For value, East Horsley is poor. The houses are good, the prices know it, and the smaller homes that would let someone in on a normal budget make up very little of the village.
