The chart tracks the median Merthyr Road, Abergavenny house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2024. 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 Merthyr Road, Abergavenny is £305,000 in 2023; the lowest is £46,000 in 1995. Across the full 30-year record the cash median has moved from £46,000 to £280,000.

In 2026 money that first median is worth £102,142, so the real change over the whole record is +188.4% — about +3.72% 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: +68.5% in cash against +23.6% 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 Merthyr Road, Abergavenny values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Merthyr Road, Abergavenny is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.

3 of the sales on record are leasehold and 161 freehold — 1.8% 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.

The median leasehold sale is £102,000 and the median freehold sale £153,000 — a gap of +50.0%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.

New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -62.8%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.

A further 10 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.

Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime.

Against the 187,034 residents the 2021 census counted in Herefordshire, County of, that is 0.92 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.

A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.
