What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Lower Street, Sandwich 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 | 19 | 33.3% | £190,000 | £54,000 – £377,500 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Lower Street, Sandwich
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 57 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 | 57 | 100.0% | £175,000 |
A further 4 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
How Lower Street, Sandwich compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Lower Street, Sandwich sits above that national figure — +11.1%.
Within Sandwich the street ranks 97 of 143 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £199,950 (-12.5%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,996 per square metre, across 2 of the 57 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 £22,000 to £725,000. 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 Lower Street, Sandwich?
The median price paid in Lower Street, Sandwich across every sale on the register is £175,000. 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 Lower Street, Sandwich?
57 sales are on record for Lower Street, Sandwich, the most recent completing on 4 Mar 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
When were Lower Street, Sandwich house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £79,500, set in 1998. 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 Lower Street, Sandwich?
£1,996 per square metre, from the 2 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 4 Mar 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.
