How Westcourt Lane, Dover prices moved

The chart tracks the median Westcourt Lane, Dover house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2022. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.

Median of the yearly medians in each decade.

The highest yearly median on record for Westcourt Lane, Dover is £512,500 in 2022; the lowest is £71,950 in 1996. Across the full 27-year record the cash median has moved from £71,950 to £512,500.

In 2026 money that first median is worth £156,076, so the real change over the whole record is +280.4% — about +5.27% 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: +75.2% in cash against +11.4% 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.

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.

Section 06

Ownership and new build in Westcourt Lane, Dover

0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 100 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.

CategorySalesShareMedian paid
Leasehold00.0%
Freehold100100.0%£280,000
New build22.0%£222,500
Existing home9898.0%£280,000
Shares are of the sales used on this page.

New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -20.5%. 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 6 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 Westcourt Lane, Dover compares

The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Westcourt Lane, Dover sits above that national figure — +77.8%.

Within Dover the street ranks 74 of 628 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £139,000 (+101.4%).

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 £52,950 to £715,000. 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.
