Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Prospect Road, Birchington is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 26 | 52.0% | £145,000 | £38,000 – £425,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Prospect Road, Birchington
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 50 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 50 | 100.0% | £160,250 |
A further 2 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.
Section 09
How Prospect Road, Birchington compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Prospect Road, Birchington sits above that national figure — +1.7%.
Within Birchington the street ranks 140 of 200 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £170,000 (-5.7%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,357 per square metre, across 15 of the 50 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £38,000 to £425,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Prospect Road, Birchington?
The median price paid in Prospect Road, Birchington across every sale on the register is £160,250. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Prospect Road, Birchington?
50 sales are on record for Prospect Road, Birchington, the most recent completing on 8 Jan 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Prospect Road, Birchington house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +80.1% between 2005 and 2021. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +24.9%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Prospect Road, Birchington house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £257,498, set in 2021. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Prospect Road, Birchington?
£2,357 per square metre, from the 15 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 8 Jan 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
