How Tower Street, Heathfield prices moved
The chart tracks the median Tower Street, Heathfield house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2008 to 2018. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 1 | £225,000 | £409,884 |
| 2010s | 2 | £235,000 | £331,350 |
The highest yearly median on record for Tower Street, Heathfield is £300,000 in 2018; the lowest is £225,000 in 2008. Across the full 11-year record the cash median has moved from £225,000 to £300,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £377,679, so the real change over the whole record is +5.9% — about +0.57% 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: +33.3% in cash against +5.9% 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. Tower Street, Heathfield 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 | 34 | 59.6% | £203,000 | £55,000 – £365,000 |
| Detached | 13 | 22.8% | £289,950 | £175,000 – £407,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Tower Street, Heathfield
1 of the sales on record are leasehold and 56 freehold — 1.8% 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.
The median leasehold sale is £55,000 and the median freehold sale £230,000 — a gap of +318.2%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 1 | 1.8% | £55,000 |
| Freehold | 56 | 98.2% | £230,000 |
A further 2 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 Tower Street, Heathfield compares

Within Heathfield the street ranks 141 of 242 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £220,000 (+2.3%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £3,038 per square metre, across 9 of the 57 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Tower Street, Heathfield?
The median price paid in Tower Street, Heathfield across every sale on the register is £225,000. 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 Tower Street, Heathfield?

When were Tower Street, Heathfield house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £300,000, set in 2018. 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 Tower Street, Heathfield?
£3,038 per square metre, from the 9 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.

The latest sale shown here completed on 5 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.
