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 St Johns Crescent, Sandown 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. St Johns Crescent, Sandown 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 | 45 | 60.8% | £145,000 | £40,000 – £269,950 |
| Detached | 25 | 33.8% | £169,000 | £57,500 – £266,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 4 | 5.4% | £119,500 | £105,000 – £140,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in St Johns Crescent, Sandown
15 of the sales on record are leasehold and 59 freehold — 20.3% 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 £169,000 and the median freehold sale £140,000 — a gap of -17.2%. 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 | 15 | 20.3% | £169,000 |
| Freehold | 59 | 79.7% | £140,000 |
A further 2 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 St Johns Crescent, Sandown
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Isle of Wight, 41.6% of 79,796 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 7.2% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 369 | 0.5% |
| B | 7,579 | 9.5% |
| C | 25,233 | 31.6% |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Isle of Wight at £948 a month as of Jun 2026 — £661 for a one-bedroom home and £1,085 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £145,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 7.85% 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 PO36, 108 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 42 violent, 1 burglary, 1 vehicle-related and 17 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 140,459 residents the 2021 census counted in Isle of Wight, that is 0.77 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 St Johns Crescent, Sandown
The 2021 census counted 140,459 residents in Isle of Wight across 64,775 households. 68.4% of those households own their home and 31.6% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
4 state and independent schools have a PO36 postcode: 3 primary, 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 St Johns Crescent, Sandown compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. St Johns Crescent, Sandown sits below that national figure — -7.9%.
Within Sandown the street ranks 133 of 230 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £141,000 (+2.8%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,252 per square metre, across 8 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 £40,000 to £269,950. 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.
St Johns Crescent, Sandown sits in Isle of Wight, in the South East.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Isle of Wight at 9.3 times median local earnings of £28,543 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 St Johns Crescent, Sandown?

How many homes have sold in St Johns Crescent, Sandown?
74 sales are on record for St Johns Crescent, Sandown, the most recent completing on 9 Jun 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

When were St Johns Crescent, Sandown house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £174,250, set in 2014. 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 St Johns Crescent, Sandown?
£1,252 per square metre, from the 8 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 9 Jun 2026. 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.
