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.

A new home sold for a median £618,750
against £430,000 for a home sold on, 44% 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.
