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 Queens Drive, Sandbach 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. Queens Drive, Sandbach 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 | 56 | 76.7% | £159,000 | £30,000 – £290,000 |
| Detached | 10 | 13.7% | £182,500 | £135,000 – £323,500 |
| Flat or maisonette | 5 | 6.8% | £55,000 | £15,250 – £115,000 |
| Terraced | 2 | 2.7% | £80,000 | £80,000 – £112,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Queens Drive, Sandbach
3 of the sales on record are leasehold and 70 freehold — 4.1% 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 £49,100 and the median freehold sale £159,500 — a gap of +224.8%. 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 | 3 | 4.1% | £49,100 |
| Freehold | 70 | 95.9% | £159,500 |
| New build | 1 | 1.4% | £80,000 |
| Existing home | 72 | 98.6% | £158,500 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -49.5%. 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.
A further 6 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 Queens Drive, Sandbach
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Cheshire East, 44.0% of 197,366 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 5.1% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 1,489 | 0.8% |
| B | 29,554 | 15.0% |
| C | 55,700 | 28.2% |
| D | 73,725 | 37.4% |
| E | 26,906 | 13.6% |
| F | 7,570 | 3.8% |
| G | 2,422 | 1.2% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Cheshire East at £982 a month as of Jun 2026 — £694 for a one-bedroom home and £1,102 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £158,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 7.46% 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 CW11, 84 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 40 violent, 2 burglary, 2 vehicle-related and 10 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.0 times quieter.
Against the 398,772 residents the 2021 census counted in Cheshire East, that is 0.21 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 Queens Drive, Sandbach
The 2021 census counted 398,772 residents in Cheshire East across 174,854 households. 72.9% of those households own their home and 27.1% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
11 state and independent schools have a CW11 postcode: 9 primary, 2 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How Queens Drive, Sandbach compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Queens Drive, Sandbach sits above that national figure — +0.3%.
Within Sandbach the street ranks 288 of 452 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £163,865 (-3.6%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,304 per square metre, across 15 of the 73 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 £15,250 to £323,500. 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.
Queens Drive, Sandbach sits in Cheshire East, in the North West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Cheshire East at 7.6 times median local earnings of £39,459 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 Queens Drive, Sandbach?
The median price paid in Queens Drive, Sandbach across every sale on the register is £158,000. 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 Queens Drive, Sandbach?
73 sales are on record for Queens Drive, Sandbach, the most recent completing on 31 Mar 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Queens Drive, Sandbach house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +53.4% between 2006 and 2024. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -9.3%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Queens Drive, Sandbach house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £222,500, set in 2024. 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 Queens Drive, Sandbach?
£2,304 per square metre, from the 15 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 31 Mar 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.
