Each type, year by year
| 1995 | 2000 | 2005 | 2010 | 2015 | 2020 | Last 12 months | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached houses | £128K | — | — | — | £256K | — | £431K |
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.
56% of homes sold in the last 12 months were new builds

Calendar years with 10 or more sales, then the last 12 months.
A new home sold for a median £407,995
against £318,250 for a home sold on, 28% 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.
