Your home/property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate some forms of Buy to Lets.
There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The precise amount of the fee will depend upon your circumstances but will range from £195 to £1,295 and this will be discussed and agreed with you at the earliest opportunity.
This is a guide, not a mortgage offer or advice. The figures are rough typical ranges and average rates, not any one lender’s; what any lender will offer you depends on its own checks of your income, spending and credit history. Rates and criteria change often.

How this area has changed
Typical prices for detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to August 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vickers Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector RG2 9 | £630,000 | £555,000 +14% since | £545,000 +16% since | £369,950 +70% since | £352,500 +79% since |

The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
How homes change hands in RG2 9, over the last five years (1,863 sales):
- What sells: 38% detached, 29% semi-detached, 16% terraced, 15% flats, 2% other.
- 16% sold leasehold, and 46% were new builds.
- 207 sales in the last twelve months, against 539 in the same twelve months five years ago.
