Surrey

Property development
in Surrey.

One of England's most affluent counties, Surrey's property market is characterised by premium values, Green Belt constraints, and strong commuter demand. Limited development land means high competition for sites, but achievable values support viable margins even at elevated build costs. The county has a strong market for high-specification family homes and boutique apartment schemes.

The Surrey property market recorded 9,359 residential transactions over the past 12 months, with a county-wide median sale price of £493,750 - £209k above the UK average. Prices have shown growth, with a year-on-year change of +1.2% across the county's 10 principal towns.

New-build completions totalled 177 over the same period, representing 1.9% of total transactions. This signals an active development pipeline with proven buyer demand.

Key Development Drivers
