Wixams costs more than England as a whole
Median sale price each calendar year: Wixams, 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 | £250K | £329K | £400K | £470K |
| Semi-detached houses | £200K | £240K | £320K | £350K |
| Terraced houses | £189K | £245K | £287K | £339K |
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.
25% of homes sold in the last 12 months were new builds
2,331 new homes have been sold in Wixams since 1995; the share peaked at 96% in 2011.
Calendar years with 10 or more sales, then the last 12 months.
A new home sold for a median £386,362
against £353,000 for a home sold on, 9% 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.
15% of sales were leasehold
Nearly every flat in England and Wales is leasehold; among houses, 5.3% sold leasehold in Wixams. A leasehold buyer owns the home for a fixed term and may pay ground rent and service charges; check the lease before you buy.
Crane Lane is Wixams’s busiest street, with 35 sales in three years
40 streets had five or more sales from Sep 2023 to Aug 2026, 17 of them ten or more. A busy street is often a new estate selling its first homes, or a long road of terraces and flats.
