How Lower Sands, Romney Marsh prices moved
The chart tracks the median Lower Sands, Romney Marsh house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2015. 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 | 3 | £72,475 | £160,929 |
| 2000s | 3 | £198,500 | £361,609 |
| 2010s | 3 | £240,000 | £338,400 |
The highest yearly median on record for Lower Sands, Romney Marsh is £282,500 in 2015; the lowest is £69,250 in 1995. Across the full 21-year record the cash median has moved from £69,250 to £282,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £153,768, so the real change over the whole record is +159.0% — about +4.87% 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: +28.4% in cash against -0.6% 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 Lower Sands, Romney Marsh
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 112 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 | 112 | 100.0% | £221,000 |
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

Within Romney Marsh the street ranks 35 of 190 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £170,000 (+30.0%).

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Lower Sands, Romney Marsh?

How many homes have sold in Lower Sands, Romney Marsh?
112 sales are on record for Lower Sands, Romney Marsh, the most recent completing on 17 Oct 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

When were Lower Sands, Romney Marsh house prices at their highest?

How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 17 Oct 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.
