What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Smithwood Common, Cranleigh 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 26 | 49.1% | £806,500 | £176,250 – £2,675,000 |
| Semi-detached | 22 | 41.5% | £425,000 | £110,000 – £820,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 3 | 5.7% | £170,000 | £142,000 – £350,000 |
| Terraced | 2 | 3.8% | £677,500 | £677,500 – £820,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Smithwood Common, Cranleigh
3 of the sales on record are leasehold and 50 freehold — 5.7% 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 £170,000 and the median freehold sale £520,287 — a gap of +206.1%. 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 | 3 | 5.7% | £170,000 |
| Freehold | 50 | 94.3% | £520,287 |
| New build | 1 | 1.9% | £176,250 |
| Existing home | 52 | 98.1% | £510,287 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -65.5%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 5 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.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Chichester, 44.4% of 65,469 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 7.9% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

Against the median sale of £505,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 3.15% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.

How Smithwood Common, Cranleigh compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Smithwood Common, Cranleigh sits above that national figure — +220.6%.
Within Cranleigh the street ranks 86 of 263 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £320,500 (+57.6%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £3,848 per square metre, across 7 of the 53 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 £110,000 to £2,675,000. 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.
Smithwood Common, Cranleigh sits in Chichester, in the South East.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Chichester at 12.3 times median local earnings of £33,692 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.
