The chart tracks the median Holywell Crescent, Abergavenny house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2015. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.

The highest yearly median on record for Holywell Crescent, Abergavenny is £200,000 in 2015; the lowest is £71,750 in 1997. Across the full 19-year record the cash median has moved from £71,750 to £200,000.

In 2026 money that first median is worth £152,132, so the real change over the whole record is +85.4% — about +3.49% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.

Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +4.4% in cash against -20.6% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Holywell Crescent, Abergavenny values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 91 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.

A further 3 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Herefordshire, County of, 37.9% of 94,137 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 10.6% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
