A typical home in Hook sells for about £431,000, and Hook knows exactly who is buying. Detached houses go for well over half a million. The typical flat is the only thing that comes in under £250,000. Four-bedroom homes outnumber every other size. Hook is priced for the family estate car, not the first-time buyer's bike.
The Land Registry recorded 106 sales in the year to May 2026, at a median of about £431,000. That middle figure covers some very different purchases. Detached houses sold for a median of around £632,500 across 34 sales. Semis came in at about £445,000 from 23 sales, and terraces at about £358,000 from 33. Flats sold for a median of about £247,500, but there were only 16 of them. The bottom rung of the ladder is here. There just aren't many of them.
The house-price index for the area put the average price at about £487,000 in May 2026, up 3.3% on a year earlier. Flats rose 1.2% over the same twelve months. Both are small moves. Nobody in Hook is getting rich on paper this year, and nobody is panicking either.
Council tax lands where the houses do. Band F is the most common band here, and only 9% of homes sit in bands A or B. A Band D bill runs to about £2,400 a year, which is the easiest way to compare against where you live now. Most Hook homes sit above that line, so expect to pay more.
Renting is priced by the district. The typical private rent across the Hart area was about £1,410 a month in April 2026. That is an Office for National Statistics average for the whole of Hart, not a figure for Hook's own streets. By size, it comes to about £1,020 a month for one bedroom, £1,300 for two, £1,580 for three and £2,310 for four or more. No reliable figure exists for studios or single rooms, so don't expect one from any honest source.
Modelled household income across the area averaged about £76,000 a year before tax in the financial year to March 2023. Set against a typical price of £431,000, that makes Hook reachable for a two-earner household on those wages. It is a stretch for anyone earning less, or buying alone. The detached end is out of reach for most, and the market isn't sorry about it.
Among the sales that can be matched to an energy certificate's floor area, about 76% of them, the median price was about £5,000 per square metre. The typical home behind that figure has around 78 square metres of floor space. That is a useful check on whether an asking price is ambitious or merely confident.
The 2021 census shows how the stock is shaped. About 44% of households have four bedrooms or more, 27% have three, 22% have two and only 7% have one. A buyer looking for one bedroom is shopping in the smallest corner of the market. A buyer looking for four is shopping in its biggest.
Hook's prices are middling. They're fair for what you get, and generous to a family that wants space. For anyone who needs fewer rooms, they're harder work.
