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.

Section 03
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 Station Road, Swanage values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Station 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat or maisonette | 42 | 76.4% | £142,000 | £28,000 – £232,000 |
| Terraced | 11 | 20.0% | £112,000 | £20,000 – £500,000 |
| Semi-detached | 2 | 3.6% | £310,000 | £310,000 – £376,500 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Station Road, Swanage
47 of the sales on record are leasehold and 8 freehold — 85.5% 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 £138,000 and the median freehold sale £165,500 — a gap of +19.9%. 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 | 47 | 85.5% | £138,000 |
| Freehold | 8 | 14.5% | £165,500 |
| New build | 14 | 25.5% | £162,500 |
| Existing home | 41 | 74.5% | £112,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +45.1%. 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 13 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 Station Road, Swanage compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Station Road, Swanage sits below that national figure — -11.1%.
Within Swanage the street ranks 198 of 218 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £210,000 (-33.3%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,098 per square metre, across 11 of the 55 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 £20,000 to £500,000. 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 Station Road, Swanage?
The median price paid in Station Road, Swanage across every sale on the register is £140,000. 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 Station Road, Swanage?
55 sales are on record for Station Road, Swanage, the most recent completing on 21 Apr 2023. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Station Road, Swanage house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +15.7% between 2006 and 2018. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -13.4%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Station Road, Swanage house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £167,750, set in 2018. 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 Station Road, Swanage?
£2,098 per square metre, from the 11 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 21 Apr 2023. 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.
