How St James Oaks, Gravesend prices moved
The chart tracks the median St James Oaks, Gravesend house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2025. 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 | 4 | £46,500 | £103,252 |
| 2000s | 8 | £94,000 | £171,240 |
| 2010s | 8 | £128,000 | £180,480 |
| 2020s | 3 | £165,000 | £168,587 |
The highest yearly median on record for St James Oaks, Gravesend is £179,995 in 2019; the lowest is £45,000 in 1996. Across the full 30-year record the cash median has moved from £45,000 to £152,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £97,615, so the real change over the whole record is +59.6% — about +1.63% 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: +29.8% in cash against -6.0% 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.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. St James Oaks, Gravesend 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat or maisonette | 255 | 95.9% | £109,000 | £37,500 – £195,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in St James Oaks, Gravesend
266 of the sales on record are leasehold and 0 freehold — 100.0% 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 | 266 | 100.0% | £109,500 |
| Freehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
A further 8 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.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Dartford, 56.7% of 52,462 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 2.1% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Dartford at £1,566 a month as of Jun 2026 — £1,086 for a one-bedroom home and £1,699 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £109,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 17.16% 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 DA11, 375 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 157 violent, 4 burglary, 11 vehicle-related and 83 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.2 times busier.
Against the 116,753 residents the 2021 census counted in Dartford, that is 3.21 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.

Within Gravesend the street ranks 852 of 910 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £172,500 (-36.5%).

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in St James Oaks, Gravesend?
The median price paid in St James Oaks, Gravesend across every sale on the register is £109,500. 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 St James Oaks, Gravesend?
266 sales are on record for St James Oaks, Gravesend, the most recent completing on 30 Jan 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have St James Oaks, Gravesend house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +29.8% between 2015 and 2025. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -6.0%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were St James Oaks, Gravesend house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £179,995, set in 2019. 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 St James Oaks, Gravesend?
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 30 Jan 2026. 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.
