How Lower Drive, Dawlish prices moved
The chart tracks the median Lower Drive, Dawlish house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1999 to 2020. 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 | 1 | £69,000 | £153,213 |
| 2000s | 3 | £128,500 | £234,089 |
| 2010s | 3 | £208,750 | £294,338 |
| 2020s | 1 | £242,500 | £247,772 |
The highest yearly median on record for Lower Drive, Dawlish is £242,500 in 2020; the lowest is £69,000 in 1999. Across the full 22-year record the cash median has moved from £69,000 to £242,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £140,592, so the real change over the whole record is +123.3% — about +3.90% 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: +34.8% in cash against -2.0% 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

Homes that sold twice

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Lower Drive, Dawlish 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 | 57 | 55.9% | £195,000 | £59,500 – £475,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Lower Drive, Dawlish
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 102 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 | 102 | 100.0% | £196,250 |
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 Lower Drive, Dawlish compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Lower Drive, Dawlish sits above that national figure — +24.6%.
Within Dawlish the street ranks 112 of 245 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £163,000 (+20.4%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,842 per square metre, across 29 of the 102 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 £53,500 to £475,000. 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.

How many homes have sold in Lower Drive, Dawlish?

When were Lower Drive, Dawlish house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £242,500, set in 2020. 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 Lower Drive, Dawlish?
£2,842 per square metre, from the 29 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.

The latest sale shown here completed on 3 Jun 2025. 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.
