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.
Hardly any new homes: 0.9% of sales in the last 12 months
583 new homes have been sold in Hemsworth since 1995; the share peaked at 37% in 1998.

A new home sold for a median £250,000
against £174,000 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.
5% of sales were leasehold
Nearly every flat in England and Wales is leasehold; among houses, 0.3% sold leasehold in Hemsworth. A leasehold buyer owns the home for a fixed term and may pay ground rent and service charges; check the lease before you buy.
