How Poplar Lane, Romney Marsh prices moved
The chart tracks the median Poplar Lane, Romney Marsh house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1998 to 2007. 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 | 2 | £62,000 | £137,669 |
| 2000s | 3 | £78,950 | £143,824 |
The highest yearly median on record for Poplar Lane, Romney Marsh is £179,800 in 2007; the lowest is £62,000 in 1998. Across the full 10-year record the cash median has moved from £62,000 to £179,800.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £128,559, so the real change over the whole record is +143.2% — about +10.38% 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: +190.0% in cash against +143.2% 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 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Poplar Lane, Romney Marsh 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 | 49 | 57.6% | £157,500 | £43,000 – £300,000 |
| Detached | 29 | 34.1% | £118,000 | £57,000 – £315,000 |

| Terraced | 1 | 1.2% | £153,000 | £153,000 – £153,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Poplar Lane, Romney Marsh
6 of the sales on record are leasehold and 79 freehold — 7.1% 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 £41,500 and the median freehold sale £153,000 — a gap of +268.7%. 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 | 6 | 7.1% | £41,500 |
| Freehold | 79 | 92.9% | £153,000 |
| New build | 11 | 12.9% | £72,000 |
| Existing home | 74 | 87.1% | £154,750 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -53.5%. 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.
Section 09
How Poplar Lane, Romney Marsh compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Poplar Lane, Romney Marsh sits below that national figure — -11.1%.
Within Romney Marsh the street ranks 153 of 190 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £170,000 (-17.6%).
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 £20,000 to £315,000. 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 Poplar Lane, Romney Marsh?

When were Poplar Lane, Romney Marsh house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £179,800, set in 2007. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
