Median sale price each calendar year: Lyneham, every standard sale in England, and the typical UK town (the middle of the town medians, towns of 2,500 or more).
Each type, year by year
| 1995 | 2000 | 2005 | 2010 | 2015 | 2020 | Last 12 months | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced houses | £49K | £76K | £125K | £130K | £160K | £190K | £229K |
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.
4% of homes sold in the last 12 months were new builds
63 new homes have been sold in Lyneham since 1995; the share peaked at 66% in 2012.
Calendar years with 10 or more sales, then the last 12 months.
A new home sold for a median £437,500
against £250,000 for a home sold on, 75% 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.
9% of sales were leasehold
Nearly every flat in England and Wales is leasehold; among houses, 1.2% sold leasehold in Lyneham. A leasehold buyer owns the home for a fixed term and may pay ground rent and service charges; check the lease before you buy.
Brook Close is Lyneham’s busiest street, with 14 sales in three years
8 streets had five or more sales from Sep 2023 to Aug 2026, 3 of them ten or more. A busy street is often a new estate selling its first homes, or a long road of terraces and flats.
