The typical house in Radley sells for about £470,000, which buys a family house, because family houses are mostly what comes up. Flats go for about half that. Semis and detached houses both come in above half a million. Only a handful of homes sell in a whole year, so you pay for the village and then wait for someone to leave it.
The Land Registry recorded 14 sales in Radley in the year to February 2026, and the median price was £472,500. That breaks down to five flats at a median of £240,000, four semi-detached houses at £525,000 and four detached houses at about £551,000. The semis and the detached houses are close together on price, so having your own walls doesn't add much to the bill. Each of those medians comes from four or five sales, though, so one keen buyer is enough to shift it.
The house price index for the area rose 3.6% in the twelve months to May 2026, to an average of about £408,000. Flats rose only 0.6% over the same year. That's a small rise overall. The extra money has gone into houses, and flats have stayed roughly where they were.
Band A is the most common council tax band in Radley, and 27% of homes are in Band A or B. The Vale of White Horse charges about £1,720 a year for Band A and about £2,580 for Band D, the band most people use as a yardstick. Generous banding in a village where a semi costs over half a million is a small gift from the valuation list. Don't count on getting it, though. It's unlikely to come with the house you're looking at.
Across the Vale of White Horse district the typical private rent is about £1,330 a month, up 1% on a year earlier at April 2026. The Office for National Statistics publishes that as an average for the whole council area, and Radley doesn't get its own figure. By size, the district average is about £970 for a one-bed, £1,210 for a two-bed, £1,480 for a three-bed and £2,200 for four bedrooms or more. A third of Radley's homes are in that last bracket, so renting a typical house here means paying the top rent.
The Office for National Statistics models typical household income at about £70,000 a year before tax, or about £51,000 after tax, for the financial year to March 2023, averaged across an area wider than the village. That makes a £470,000 house a stretch for one typical income. Most buyers here have equity from an earlier sale or a second salary. That income figure is a few years old, and the mortgage gets paid out of the after-tax one.
Of the sales that could be matched to an energy certificate, half of the 14, the median price was about £5,100 per square metre, and the typical floor area was 103 square metres. That's seven sales. When you compare a house with its sold neighbours, put the floor area from each energy certificate next to the price, because Radley sells too few homes for a median to settle an argument.
The 2021 Census puts 10% of Radley's households in one bedroom, 27% in two, 31% in three and 33% in four or more. That's the same pattern as the prices. One-bed starter homes are rare, and the bigger houses set the price.
On cost, Radley is middling, leaning to dear. The prices are high, very few homes come up for sale, and the cheaper end of the market is mostly flats.
