Section 06
Ownership and new build in John Smith Close, Alford
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 23 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.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 23 | 100.0% | £173,000 |
| New build | 3 | 13.0% | £149,500 |
| Existing home | 20 | 87.0% | £176,500 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -15.3%. 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.
Section 09

Within Alford the street ranks 22 of 112 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £130,000 (+33.1%).
