About £425,000, which is a price almost nobody pays. Flats go for under £250,000. Detached houses go for around three-quarters of a million. Prices have hardly moved in a year. The middle figure is where the two ends meet, and very few houses sell at it.
In the Land Registry's figures for the year to May 2026, 792 homes sold in Woking at a median of £425,000. By type, the split is wide. Flats sold for a median of about £247,000, terraced houses £385,000, semi-detached £496,500 and detached £760,000. Sales were spread fairly evenly across the four types: 222 flats, 193 terraces, 170 semis and 207 detached houses. That spread is why the headline median tells you so little. A couple buying their first flat and a family trading up to a detached house are shopping in the same postcode but in different markets.
The official house price index for the Woking area puts the average price up by less than 1% in the year to May 2026. Flats went the other way, down about 1% over the same year. Neither change is big enough to act on. Anyone telling you the market is running away from them is selling something, most likely a house.
The most common council-tax band is D, and only about 10% of homes are in the two cheapest bands, A and B. A band D bill is about £2,600 a year. The valuation list pushes most households into the middle bands and higher, so budget for a mid-band bill whatever the estate agent hopes you won't ask.
For renters, the typical private rent across the Woking area was about £1,620 a month as of April 2026, down about 1% on a year earlier. That's a mean for the whole borough from the Office for National Statistics rent index, not an average of listings in any one street. By bedroom count, it averaged about £1,130 a month for a one-bed, £1,440 for a two-bed, £1,755 for a three-bed and about £2,690 for four bedrooms or more. There are no figures for studios or single rooms.
Gross household income, before tax, averaged about £75,800 a year across the area in the financial year to March 2023, as modelled by the Office for National Statistics. At that income, a flat is within reach, and a two-earner household with a decent deposit can manage a terrace. Detached houses are for people with an income well above the local average or equity from somewhere pricier. Those buyers tend to talk about Woking being good value, which says a lot about where they sold.
Of the sales that can be matched to an energy certificate's floor area, which is about 72% of them, the median price was about £5,400 per square metre. The typical floor area behind that figure is about 81 square metres. Estate-agent photos use wide-angle lenses; the certificate uses a tape measure.
At the 2021 census, about 15% of homes had one bedroom, 24% two, 33% three and 28% four or more. The three-bed is the local standard, and four or more is common enough that a big family house is easy to find. Affording one is the hard part.
On price, Woking sits in the middle: it isn't a bargain, it isn't London, and it has been steady enough over the past year that nobody needs to panic-buy.
