What sells here

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

Section 06

Ownership and new build in Argyle Road, Swanage

10 of the sales on record are leasehold and 47 freehold — 17.5% 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 £172,500 and the median freehold sale £250,000 — a gap of +44.9%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.

CategorySalesShareMedian paid

Freehold4782.5%£250,000
New build11.8%£265,500
Existing home5698.2%£244,250
Shares are of the sales used on this page.

New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +8.7%. 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.

Section 09

How Argyle Road, Swanage compares

The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Argyle Road, Swanage sits above that national figure — +55.6%.

Within Swanage the street ranks 98 of 218 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £210,000 (+16.7%).

Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,102 per square metre, across 16 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 £68,000 to £600,000. 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.

When were Argyle Road, Swanage house prices at their highest?

The highest yearly median on record is £302,000, 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.

What is the price per square metre in Argyle Road, Swanage?

£2,102 per square metre, from the 16 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.

The latest sale shown here completed on 4 Jul 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.
