How Sorrel Way, Gillingham prices moved
The chart tracks the median Sorrel Way, Gillingham house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2012. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 5 | £86,000 | £190,961 |
| 2000s | 2 | £135,000 | £245,930 |
| 2010s | 1 | £217,000 | £305,970 |
The highest yearly median on record for Sorrel Way, Gillingham is £232,500 in 2006; the lowest is £74,498 in 1995. Across the full 18-year record the cash median has moved from £74,498 to £217,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £165,420, so the real change over the whole record is +95.9% — about +4.04% 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: +60.7% in cash against +20.0% 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.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Sorrel Way, Gillingham 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 | 125 | 96.9% | £145,000 | £55,000 – £445,000 |
| Terraced | 4 | 3.1% | £76,000 | £73,495 – £243,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Sorrel Way, Gillingham
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 129 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 | 129 | 100.0% | £143,000 |
| New build | 32 | 24.8% | £74,995 |
| Existing home | 97 | 75.2% | £212,500 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -64.7%. 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.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Dorset, 43.1% of 188,938 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 6.5% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Dorset at £1,046 a month as of Jun 2026 — £724 for a one-bedroom home and £1,178 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £143,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 8.78% 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 SP8, 46 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 9 violent, 1 burglary, 0 vehicle-related and 20 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 3.6 times quieter.
Against the 379,579 residents the 2021 census counted in Dorset, that is 0.12 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.

How Sorrel Way, Gillingham compares

Within Gillingham the street ranks 710 of 1078 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £150,000 (-4.7%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,825 per square metre, across 28 of the 129 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 £55,000 to £445,000. 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.
Sorrel Way, Gillingham sits in Dorset, in the South West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Dorset at 9.9 times median local earnings of £35,311 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.

When were Sorrel Way, Gillingham house prices at their highest?

£1,825 per square metre, from the 28 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.
