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 have slowed: 2% of sales in the last 12 months, after 37% in 2020
639 new homes have been sold in Shirebrook since 1995; the share peaked at 37% in 2020.
Calendar years with 10 or more sales, then the last 12 months.
A new home sold for a median £213,745
against £150,000 for a home sold on, 42% 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.
2% of sales were leasehold
Nearly every flat in England and Wales is leasehold; among houses, 0.8% sold leasehold in Shirebrook. A leasehold buyer owns the home for a fixed term and may pay ground rent and service charges; check the lease before you buy.
