There are too few years of sales in High Meadow, Rye to plot a trend line. The figures below are drawn from the whole record rather than a yearly series.

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.

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 High Meadow, Rye values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. High Meadow, Rye is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.

20 of the sales on record are leasehold and 54 freehold — 27.0% 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 £66,475 and the median freehold sale £218,250 — a gap of +228.3%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.

New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -39.2%. 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.

The median across the whole archive is £157,500. High Meadow, Rye sits above that national figure — +11.1%.

Within Rye the street ranks 188 of 235 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £225,000 (-22.2%).

Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £678 per square metre, across 3 of the 74 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 £39,500 to £630,000. 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.
