The Woking property market

It shouldn’t come as any surprise that Woking has much higher house prices than the national average - more than double, in fact. It’s still an affordable place to live in terms of its proximity to London though, giving you the chance to enjoy extra space both at home and in the surrounding area than more central spots. 

There’s a good selection of properties to suit a range of budgets in and around town, while you can also find some superb houses in places like Tongham which is next door to Aldershot and Farnham.
