Section 02
The most recent sales
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.

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 Princess Road, Swanage 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. Princess Road, Swanage 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 35 | 70.0% | £222,000 | £47,100 – £487,500 |
| Detached | 12 | 24.0% | £237,000 | £60,000 – £415,000 |
| Semi-detached | 3 | 6.0% | £197,500 | £88,000 – £230,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Princess Road, Swanage
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 50 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 | 50 | 100.0% | £223,500 |
| New build | 4 | 8.0% | £102,500 |
| Existing home | 46 | 92.0% | £225,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -54.4%. 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 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.
Section 09
How Princess Road, Swanage compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Princess Road, Swanage sits above that national figure — +41.9%.
Within Swanage the street ranks 127 of 218 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £210,000 (+6.4%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,287 per square metre, across 15 of the 50 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 £47,100 to £487,500. 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.

What is the price per square metre in Princess Road, Swanage?
£2,287 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.
