Sales at the postcodes ONS places in Cranbrook: standard sales of homes at market value. A typical price is the median, the middle sale. Sales take weeks to be registered, so the last month or two are incomplete. Each postcode page gives the figure for its own postcode sector.

Are new homes being built in Cranbrook?

43 of the 174 postcodes now in use in Cranbrook came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 24 of the 134 homes sold in Cranbrook were newly built (18%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the EX5 district, 19%.

A new postcode is often a new street or estate, but Royal Mail also makes new postcodes when it reorganises old ones, so not every one means new homes. Only postcodes still in use are counted.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 11 of 174 postcodes High: 15Medium: 17Low: 31

It is for the land, not each building, and leaves out surface water, groundwater and sewers. Each postcode page has its own figures and its flood warning areas.
