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 Chestnut Avenue, Esher 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. Chestnut Avenue, Esher 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 32 | 47.8% | £765,000 | £200,000 – £1,750,000 |
| Detached | 22 | 32.8% | £555,000 | £242,000 – £1,200,000 |
| Terraced | 13 | 19.4% | £255,000 | £90,000 – £600,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Chestnut Avenue, Esher
1 of the sales on record are leasehold and 66 freehold — 1.5% 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 £895,000 and the median freehold sale £562,500 — a gap of -37.2%. 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 | 1 | 1.5% | £895,000 |
| Freehold | 66 | 98.5% | £562,500 |
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.

Living in Chestnut Avenue, Esher
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Elmbridge, 44.4% of 66,817 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 4.4% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 155 | 0.2% |
| B | 7,608 | 11.4% |
| C | 21,932 | 32.8% |
| D | 23,849 | 35.7% |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Elmbridge at £1,852 a month as of Jun 2026 — £1,237 for a one-bedroom home and £1,896 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £570,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 3.90% 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.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of KT10, 49 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 16 violent, 3 burglary, 9 vehicle-related and 2 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 3.4 times quieter.
Against the 138,754 residents the 2021 census counted in Elmbridge, that is 0.35 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.
Section 08

Within Esher the street ranks 158 of 284 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £495,000 (+15.2%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £3,845 per square metre, across 7 of the 67 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

Chestnut Avenue, Esher sits in Elmbridge, in the South East.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Elmbridge at 15.7 times median local earnings of £41,309 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Chestnut Avenue, Esher?
The median price paid in Chestnut Avenue, Esher across every sale on the register is £570,000. 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 Chestnut Avenue, Esher?
67 sales are on record for Chestnut Avenue, Esher, the most recent completing on 9 Dec 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Chestnut Avenue, Esher house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +51.2% between 1997 and 2002. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +37.6%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Chestnut Avenue, Esher house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £375,000, set in 2002. 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 Chestnut Avenue, Esher?
£3,845 per square metre, from the 7 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.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 9 Dec 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.
