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.

New builds and tenure · 3 years
A new home sold for a median £522,500
against £480,000 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.
