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 Cottenhams, Lingfield values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Cottenhams, Lingfield 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 | 33 | 75.0% | £126,950 | £17,600 – £231,000 |
| Terraced | 10 | 22.7% | £158,000 | £60,000 – £300,000 |
| Detached | 1 | 2.3% | £107,000 | £107,000 – £107,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Cottenhams, Lingfield
35 of the sales on record are leasehold and 9 freehold — 79.5% 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 £126,950 and the median freehold sale £164,950 — a gap of +29.9%. 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 | 35 | 79.5% | £126,950 |
| Freehold | 9 | 20.5% | £164,950 |
| New build | 1 | 2.3% | £17,600 |
| Existing home | 43 | 97.7% | £139,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -87.3%. 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.
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 Cottenhams, Lingfield compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Cottenhams, Lingfield sits below that national figure — -13.0%.
Within Lingfield the street ranks 114 of 115 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £293,655 (-53.3%).
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 £17,600 to £300,000. 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.

Common questions about this data

When were Cottenhams, Lingfield house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £190,000, set in 2015. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
