Homes and premises

What homes sold for, their energy ratings, broadband, and business rates.

Homes sold on this street

HM Land Registry records 46 standard sales of homes on Ashford Road since 2017, and 179 since 1995. Newest first, by month and price; house numbers and flat names are left out. Flats include maisonettes.

Every sale, with the address, is in the Land Registry's own search: Ashford Road. House prices in Hastings, by year, kind of home and ward.

Contains HM Land Registry data © Crown copyright and database right 2026. This data is licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Standard sales only: the Land Registry's category A, "single residential property sold for value". Repossessions, buy-to-let purchases with a mortgage and sales to companies (its category B) aren't included. A sale reaches the register weeks or months after it completes, so the last few months to August 2026 are incomplete.

Energy ratings on this street

68 homes on Ashford Road have a current energy performance certificate, registered 2016 to 2026. Each home counts once, by its newest certificate; homes without one aren't counted.
