How Primrose Lane, Forest Row prices moved

Section 02
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.

Section 03
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 Primrose Lane, Forest Row 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. Primrose 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 13 | 59.1% | £295,000 | £40,000 – £475,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Primrose Lane, Forest Row
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 22 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 | 22 | 100.0% | £312,500 |
| New build | 1 | 4.5% | £320,000 |
| Existing home | 21 | 95.5% | £305,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +4.9%. 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 Primrose Lane, Forest Row compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Primrose Lane, Forest Row sits above that national figure — +98.4%.
Within Forest Row the street ranks 31 of 54 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £289,950 (+7.8%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £5,333 per square metre, across 1 of the 22 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 £40,000 to £1,058,000. 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.
