Cranbrook costs less than England as a whole
Median sale price each calendar year: Cranbrook, every standard sale in England, and the typical UK town (the middle of the town medians, towns of 2,500 or more).
Each type, year by year
| 2010 | 2015 | 2020 | Last 12 months | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached houses | — | £318K | £289K | £345K |

| Terraced houses | — | £215K | £239K | £230K |

Calendar years; a year’s median needs 5 sales of the type, so gaps are years with fewer.
Prices are as paid, not adjusted for inflation. Standard (category A) sales only; Land Registry adds a sale when it is registered, so the newest months fill in later.
6% of homes sold in the last 12 months were new builds
1,639 new homes have been sold in Cranbrook since 1995; the share peaked at 94% in 2014.
Calendar years with 10 or more sales, then the last 12 months.
A new home sold for a median £284,997
against £267,000 for a home sold on, 7% more, over three years. New homes are often a different mix from the homes sold on, so part of the gap is size and type.
6% of sales were leasehold
Nearly every flat in England and Wales is leasehold; among houses, 3.9% sold leasehold in Cranbrook. A leasehold buyer owns the home for a fixed term and may pay ground rent and service charges; check the lease before you buy.
