Are new homes being built in Wokingham?
91 of the 1,266 postcodes now in use in Wokingham came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to September 2025, 33 of the 801 homes sold in Wokingham were newly built (4%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the RG40 district, 18%.
The newest postcodes
A new postcode is often a new street or estate, but Royal Mail also makes new postcodes when it reorganises old ones, so not every one means new homes. Only postcodes still in use are counted.
New homes among the homes sold
| Period | In Wokingham | Across the RG40 district |
|---|---|---|
| The 12 months to September 2026 | 2 of 587 (Under 1%) | 16 of 389 (4%) |
| The 12 months to September 2025 | 33 of 801 (4%) | 118 of 638 (18%) |
Standard sales of homes at market value that HM Land Registry marks as newly built. New homes take longer to be registered than other sales, so the latest 12 months count fewer of them than were sold. A share is given from 5 sales or more.

Is Wokingham at risk of flooding?
57 of the 1,266 postcodes in Wokingham have a home or business in an area at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, the Environment Agency says. At those, it puts 445 homes and businesses in an area at high or medium risk.
High: 3.3% or more a year (1 in 30). Medium: 1% to 3.3% a year. Low: 0.1% to 1% a year. Very low: under 0.1% a year (1 in 1,000). Each band is the chance of flooding in any one year.
Homes and businesses in an area at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, as the Environment Agency counts them, added up over the postcodes. It is for the land, not each building, and leaves out surface water, groundwater and sewers. Each postcode page has its own figures and its flood warning areas.
