How Smugglers, Cranbrook prices moved
The chart tracks the median Smugglers, Cranbrook house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2006. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 3 | £54,250 | £120,461 |
| 2000s | 1 | £136,250 | £248,207 |
The highest yearly median on record for Smugglers, Cranbrook is £136,250 in 2006; the lowest is £43,750 in 1997. Across the full 10-year record the cash median has moved from £43,750 to £136,250.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £92,763, so the real change over the whole record is +161.5% — about +11.27% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +211.4% in cash against +161.5% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Smugglers, Cranbrook values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Smugglers, Cranbrook 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 39 | 46.4% | £96,500 | £39,000 – £247,500 |
| Semi-detached | 29 | 34.5% | £123,500 | £43,750 – £249,950 |
| Flat or maisonette | 16 | 19.0% | £72,000 | £26,000 – £210,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Smugglers, Cranbrook
15 of the sales on record are leasehold and 69 freehold — 17.9% 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.
The median leasehold sale is £70,000 and the median freehold sale £120,000 — a gap of +71.4%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 15 | 17.9% | £70,000 |
| Freehold | 69 | 82.1% | £120,000 |
A further 1 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 Smugglers, Cranbrook compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Smugglers, Cranbrook sits below that national figure — -45.1%.
Within Cranbrook the street ranks 314 of 315 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £270,000 (-68.0%).
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
The full range on record runs from £26,000 to £249,950. 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 Smugglers, Cranbrook?
The median price paid in Smugglers, Cranbrook across every sale on the register is £86,500. 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 Smugglers, Cranbrook?
84 sales are on record for Smugglers, Cranbrook, the most recent completing on 10 Apr 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

When were Smugglers, Cranbrook house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £136,250, set in 2006. 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 Smugglers, Cranbrook?
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 10 Apr 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.
