What are house prices in Stamford? 541 sales, and why the town median is not what yours is worth
Every figure here is a completed Land Registry sale. None of them is your house.
Stamford's median sold price in 2025 was £325,000, across 541 completed sales on HM Land Registry's record. Detached homes had a median of £490,000, semi-detached £305,000, terraced £281,750 and flats £179,000. Only 82 of those 541 sales landed within £25,000 of the town median.
What did homes in Stamford actually sell for in 2025?
These are completed sales, not asking prices. Every figure below is a transaction registered with HM Land Registry in the town of Stamford during 2025, counting standard residential sales at full market value.
| Property type | Homes sold | Median sold price |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 175 | £490,000 |
| Semi-detached | 173 | £305,000 |
| Terraced | 144 | £281,750 |
| Flat or maisonette | 49 | £179,000 |
| All types | 541 | £325,000 |
One caution on that table. The flat median rests on 49 sales, and at that volume a single block of new apartments moves it. The three house types each rest on well over a hundred sales, which is enough to say something real about the town rather than about one development.
The mean tells a different story from the median, and both are true. Across the same 541 sales the mean was £413,859, which is £88,859 above the middle. A small number of very large houses does that. It is the first sign that a single Stamford number is carrying more weight than it can hold.
One town figure cannot price your house
£325,000 is the middle price of 541 sales. It is not a description of any of them. Of the homes that completed in Stamford last year, 82 sold within £25,000 of that figure. The rest did not.
The spread is not noise in the data. A stone terrace in the town centre and a post-war semi on the edge of it sit in the same column of that table and they are not the same asset. Plot size, parking, condition, whether the road is a through route: each of those moves a Stamford price by more than the gap between two of the property types above.
Which is why a homeowner who reads a town figure and works out what their own house is worth from it is doing arithmetic on the wrong number. The town figure answers a question about the town. Nobody is selling the town.
Stamford's sold record stops in July
The most recent Stamford sale on HM Land Registry's record completed on 23 July 2026. That is how the register works. A sale appears once it has been registered, which is weeks or months after the keys change hands, and the backlog is longest on the most recent months.
So every figure in this article is an accurate account of what happened. None of it is an account of what is happening. A sold price is also the end of a negotiation that began months before it, at an asking price, in front of the buyers who happened to be looking then. Those buyers have since bought something.
If you want the town-level picture in one place, our Stamford house prices page tracks it. This article is about the question it cannot answer.
How to read a Stamford sold price before you price your own house
- Find your own last sale first. The single most relevant transaction in the Land Registry record is your own house, whenever you bought it. It is the only sale where the plot, the aspect and the road are identical to what you are selling.
- Check the property type, not the street. Two houses forty metres apart can be a detached and a terrace, and in 2025 that was the difference between a £490,000 median and a £281,750 one.
- Ignore the highest and lowest sale on your road. At Stamford's volumes a single unmodernised probate sale or a barn conversion will distort a street average and tell you nothing about yours.
- Date every figure you are given. If somebody quotes you a Stamford average, ask which month the data stops in. On today's record, the answer is July.
What would a buyer pay for your house now?
That is a different question from what the town did last year, and until recently the only way to ask it was to put the house up for sale.
open for offer is the pre-market, the market that exists before a property is ever advertised. Put in your postcode, pick your home from the list, and you will see the market estimate we hold for it: your home's last recorded sale, adjusted for price movement in the area since, from HM Land Registry data. If you then want to know whether the buyers are really there, you can test the market for £9.99 a month. Your home does not go on the open market. No board, no asking price in a window, no days-on-market clock running.
That is the part a public listing cannot give back. You can cut the price. You can't un-list.
See the market estimate for your address, or read what testing the market involves before you decide.
Common questions
What is the average house price in Stamford?
Two figures describe the same 541 completed sales of 2025 and both are correct. The mean is £413,859 and the median is £325,000. The mean is pulled upwards by the town's largest houses, so the median is the better guide to an ordinary Stamford home.
Are these asking prices or sold prices?
Sold prices. Every figure is a completed sale registered with HM Land Registry at full market value. An asking price is what a seller hoped for. These are what buyers paid.
Can I find out what my Stamford home is worth without putting it up for sale?
Yes. open for offer holds a market estimate for addresses in the town, built from the home's last recorded sale adjusted for price movement in the area since. Testing the market, to find out whether buyers are really there, is £9.99 a month, and your home is never advertised publicly.
