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
Hardly any new homes: 0% of sales in the last 12 months
1,507 new homes have been sold in Wellington since 1995; the share peaked at 41% in 2010.
New-build share of sales

New builds and tenure · 3 years
A new home sold for a median £343,725
against £260,000 for a home sold on, 32% 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.
