How Severn Drive, Esher prices moved
The chart tracks the median Severn Drive, Esher house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2002 to 2021. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 2 | £340,000 | £619,380 |
| 2020s | 1 | £954,000 | £974,739 |
The highest yearly median on record for Severn Drive, Esher is £954,000 in 2021; the lowest is £340,000 in 2002. Across the full 20-year record the cash median has moved from £340,000 to £954,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £655,814, so the real change over the whole record is +83.8% — about +3.26% 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: +146.2% in cash against +70.7% 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.

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 £495,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 4.49% 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Severn Drive, Esher?

How many homes have sold in Severn Drive, Esher?

When were Severn Drive, Esher house prices at their highest?

What is the price per square metre in Severn Drive, Esher?
£6,324 per square metre, from the 8 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 29 Aug 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.
