The interactive sold-price and £/m² map for Forest Row is in build. Everything it will show for this area is on this page already, in tables: the medians, the price by property type, the floor areas and the individual sales.
Price by property type
Medians over the three years to June 2026. Types with fewer than five sales are left out; £/m² needs at least 12 sales matched to an EPC floor area before we quote it.

Median by year
Calendar-year median sale price in Forest Row. Years with fewer than twelve sales are omitted. Bars start at zero, so the percentages above them — measured against 2023 — are the quickest way to read the movement.
Percentages are against the 2023 median of £465,000.
The current year is still filling in. Registration follows completion by months, so its bar will keep rising after this build — read it as a partial count, not a fall.
This extract covers 3 Jan 2023 to 29 Jun 2026. A longer Price Paid history — enough for a ten-year trend, and for what a house sold for a decade ago — is a later ingest, not a gap in what is published here.

Matching sales only. Habitable rooms come from the Energy Performance Certificate and are not bedroom counts — neither register records those.
Latest recorded sales
The twenty most recent sales in Forest Row as registered by HM Land Registry. Floor area comes from the property's Energy Performance Certificate where the address could be matched. Addresses with a matched certificate link to that property's sale history.
A sale appears here once the buyer's title is registered with HM Land Registry, which routinely takes months. The most recent weeks are always thinner than they will end up.

Forest Row house prices: the questions
What is the average house price in Forest Row?
The median sale price in Forest Row was £507,000 over the 12 months to June 2026, across 39 recorded sales — half sold for less, half for more. Over the full three years the median is £467,000 from 144 sales, ranging from £90,000 to £4,000,000. These are HM Land Registry sold prices, not asking prices or estimates.
How much is a square metre in Forest Row?
Sold homes in Forest Row work out at a median of £4,958/m², with the middle half between £4,170 and £5,664 per square metre. The figure comes from 135 sales over three years whose address matched an Energy Performance Certificate carrying a total floor area; the median home in that set measures 93 m².
Are house prices in Forest Row going up or down?
The 12-month median to June 2026 is £507,000, +12% against the £452,500 of the twelve months before. Calendar-year medians: 2023 £465,000, 2024 £490,000, 2025 £457,500, 2026 £498,500. Note that 2026 is a part year — the Land Registry publishes monthly and the extract ends 29 Jun 2026 — and that a median tracks what sold, so a change in the mix of homes coming to market moves it as much as prices do.
Which type of home is cheapest in Forest Row?
Of the types with at least 12 sales to compare, flat or maisonette homes are the cheapest — median £200,000 across 28 sales in three years (£3,509/m²). Detached homes sit at the top on £700,000 from 65 sales (£5,125/m²). Per square metre the order often differs from the headline price, because the cheaper types are also the smaller ones.
How much does a detached house cost in Forest Row?
The median detached house in Forest Row sold for £700,000 over three years, from 65 sales, or £690,000 over the last twelve months from 19 sales. The typical one measures 147 m², which is £5,125/m².
What postcode is Forest Row?
Forest Row sits entirely within the RH18 postcode district — all 144 recorded sales over three years carry a RH18 postcode, at a median of £467,000 and £4,958/m². Searching RH18 house prices and Forest Row house prices returns the same set of sales, so this page covers both.
How many homes sell in Forest Row each year?
2023: 52, 2024: 43, 2025: 61. The current year is still filling in — HM Land Registry publishes monthly and records can arrive months after completion, so the most recent months always look thinner than they will end up.
