What do houses cost in Weybourne (Waverley)?

For anyone buying or renting in Weybourne (Waverley).

A typical house in Weybourne sells for about £480,000, which is Farnham money for a house that doesn't look like Farnham. Detached homes creep towards six hundred grand. Semis sit around the middle. Flats are rare and comparatively cheap. What you're paying for is the bedroom count, not the view from the front window.

The Land Registry recorded 133 sales in the year to May 2026, with a median of £480,000. Split by type, the 57 detached houses went for around £587,500, the 33 semis for about £450,000, the 27 terraces for about £350,000 and the 16 flats for about £189,500. Detached is the most traded type here, which says plenty about who's buying. The terrace is the entry ticket, and at £350,000 it's an entry ticket with a velvet rope.

On the published house-price index for the area, the average price stood at about £567,000 in May 2026, up about 2% on a year earlier. That's a small rise, the sort that pays for a new front door, not the kind anyone mentions at a dinner party. Flats barely moved at all, up about 0.1% over the same twelve months, which is the index's polite way of saying flat owners are standing still.

Council tax lands most often in band E, and only about 11% of homes sit in the two cheapest bands, A and B. In Waverley, a band D bill runs to about £2,605 a year, while band A costs about £1,737 and band H about £5,210. Budget for the E, because the valuation list has already decided what kind of house you bought.

For renters, the typical private rent across the Waverley area was about £1,440 a month as of April 2026. That's a borough-wide average from the Office for National Statistics' rent index, a mean rather than a median of listings, and not a Weybourne figure. By size, the Waverley averages run to about £1,040 a month for one bedroom, £1,340 for two, £1,610 for three and £2,340 for four or more. Given how few homes here are flats, the one-bed at that price is mostly theoretical.

Local households earned a modelled average gross income, before tax, of about £70,800 in the financial year to March 2023. That's a comfortable income on paper, and it's still going to need a sizeable deposit and a patient mortgage adviser to meet a £480,000 median. Weybourne is within reach for a two-income household with savings. For a single buyer it's a stretch that ends in a terrace or a flat, and there aren't many of either.

Of the sales that could be matched to an energy certificate's floor area, about 88% of the total, the median price came in at around £4,860 per square metre, across a typical floor area of about 96 square metres. That's the honest measure of what the money buys: a decent family footprint, priced like Surrey, built like the post-war decades that produced most of it.

The 2021 Census puts the bedroom mix at about 7% one-bed, 20% two-bed, 43% three-bed and 30% four-bed or larger. That's a suburb built for families and then held onto by them. Buyers hunting for a starter two-bed are shopping in the smallest aisle in the shop.

Houses in Weybourne are middling value, slightly on the wrong side of it: sound family stock at firm Surrey prices, with little at the cheap end and no discount for the lack of postcard appeal. Buy for the space, and don't expect the price to feel like a bargain.
