How Riverside, Dorking prices moved
The chart tracks the median Riverside, Dorking house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1998 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 | 2 | £74,000 | £164,315 |
| 2000s | 4 | £154,000 | £280,543 |
The highest yearly median on record for Riverside, Dorking is £170,500 in 2006; the lowest is £74,000 in 1998. Across the full 9-year record the cash median has moved from £74,000 to £170,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £153,441, so the real change over the whole record is +97.8% — about +8.90% 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: +130.4% in cash against +97.8% 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 Riverside, Dorking values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Riverside, Dorking 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 | 41 | 51.9% | £185,000 | £45,000 – £455,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 32 | 40.5% | £145,000 | £46,500 – £285,000 |
| Semi-detached | 6 | 7.6% | £107,950 | £64,000 – £310,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Riverside, Dorking
38 of the sales on record are leasehold and 41 freehold — 48.1% 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 £145,100 and the median freehold sale £205,000 — a gap of +41.3%. 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 | 38 | 48.1% | £145,100 |
| Freehold | 41 | 51.9% | £205,000 |
Section 09
How Riverside, Dorking compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Riverside, Dorking sits above that national figure — +4.8%.
Within Dorking the street ranks 384 of 424 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £280,000 (-41.1%).
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 £45,000 to £455,000. 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 Riverside, Dorking?
The median price paid in Riverside, Dorking across every sale on the register is £165,000. 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 Riverside, Dorking?
79 sales are on record for Riverside, Dorking, the most recent completing on 27 Mar 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Riverside, Dorking house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +130.4% between 1998 and 2006. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +97.8%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Riverside, Dorking house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £170,500, 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 Riverside, Dorking?
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 27 Mar 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.
