How Lawnsmead, Guildford prices moved
The chart tracks the median Lawnsmead, Guildford house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1999 to 2016. 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 | 1 | £121,500 | £269,787 |
| 2000s | 2 | £244,000 | £444,496 |
| 2010s | 2 | £290,000 | £408,900 |
The highest yearly median on record for Lawnsmead, Guildford is £384,975 in 2016; the lowest is £121,500 in 1999. Across the full 18-year record the cash median has moved from £121,500 to £384,975.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £247,565, so the real change over the whole record is +117.1% — about +4.67% 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: +57.8% in cash against +23.7% 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.

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 06
Ownership and new build in Lawnsmead, Guildford
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 74 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 | 74 | 100.0% | £274,000 |
A further 1 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.
Section 09
How Lawnsmead, Guildford compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Lawnsmead, Guildford sits above that national figure — +74.0%.
Within Guildford the street ranks 684 of 1153 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £274,995 (-0.4%).
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
The full range on record runs from £58,000 to £750,000. 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Lawnsmead, Guildford?
The median price paid in Lawnsmead, Guildford across every sale on the register is £274,000. 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 Lawnsmead, Guildford?
74 sales are on record for Lawnsmead, Guildford, the most recent completing on 16 Oct 2024. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Lawnsmead, Guildford house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +57.8% between 2006 and 2016. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +23.7%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Lawnsmead, Guildford house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £384,975, set in 2016. 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 Lawnsmead, Guildford?
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 16 Oct 2024. 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.
