Section 02
The most recent sales

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 Downswood, Reigate values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Downswood, Reigate 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 | 58 | 72.5% | £145,000 | £47,500 – £290,000 |
| Detached | 14 | 17.5% | £287,500 | £150,000 – £505,000 |
| Semi-detached | 6 | 7.5% | £108,000 | £52,000 – £550,000 |
| Terraced | 2 | 2.5% | £149,000 | £149,000 – £680,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Downswood, Reigate
60 of the sales on record are leasehold and 20 freehold — 75.0% 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.
The median leasehold sale is £144,800 and the median freehold sale £287,750 — a gap of +98.7%. 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 | 60 | 75.0% | £144,800 |
| Freehold | 20 | 25.0% | £287,750 |
A further 5 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.

Living in Downswood, Reigate
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Mole Valley, 39.4% of 39,308 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 5.8% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 104 | 0.3% |
| B | 3,685 | 9.4% |
| C | 11,688 | 29.7% |
| D | 14,367 | 36.5% |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Mole Valley at £1,546 a month as of Jun 2026 — £1,135 for a one-bedroom home and £1,850 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £163,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 11.38% 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 RH2, 110 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 37 violent, 1 burglary, 2 vehicle-related and 22 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.5 times quieter.
Against the 87,386 residents the 2021 census counted in Mole Valley, that is 1.26 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.
Section 08
The neighbourhood around Downswood, Reigate
The 2021 census counted 87,386 residents in Mole Valley across 37,139 households. 74.2% of those households own their home and 25.8% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
9 state and independent schools have a RH2 postcode: 6 primary, 1 16 plus, 1 secondary, 1 all-through. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How Downswood, Reigate compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Downswood, Reigate sits above that national figure — +3.5%.
Within Reigate the street ranks 286 of 295 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £289,950 (-43.8%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,843 per square metre, across 33 of the 80 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 £47,500 to £680,000. 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.
Downswood, Reigate sits in Mole Valley, in the South East.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Mole Valley at 11.6 times median local earnings of £49,889 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Downswood, Reigate?
The median price paid in Downswood, Reigate across every sale on the register is £163,000. 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 Downswood, Reigate?
80 sales are on record for Downswood, Reigate, the most recent completing on 25 Nov 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Downswood, Reigate house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +116.6% between 1999 and 2004. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +97.2%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Downswood, Reigate house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £170,000, set in 2004. 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 Downswood, Reigate?
£2,843 per square metre, from the 33 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.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 25 Nov 2025. 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.
