What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Gilham Lane, Forest Row 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 | 23 | 100.0% | £440,000 | £127,000 – £1,100,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Gilham Lane, Forest Row
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 23 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 | 23 | 100.0% | £440,000 |
| New build | 2 | 8.7% | £517,500 |
| Existing home | 21 | 91.3% | £430,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +20.3%. 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.
Section 09
How Gilham Lane, Forest Row compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Gilham Lane, Forest Row sits above that national figure — +179.4%.
Within Forest Row the street ranks 18 of 54 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £289,950 (+51.8%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £3,143 per square metre, across 5 of the 23 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 £127,000 to £1,100,000. 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.
