What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Kates Lane, Alston is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.

| Terraced | 5 | 71.4% | £125,000 | £97,500 – £195,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Kates Lane, Alston
4 of the sales on record are leasehold and 3 freehold — 57.1% 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 £101,250 and the median freehold sale £150,000 — a gap of +48.1%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 4 | 57.1% | £101,250 |
| Freehold | 3 | 42.9% | £150,000 |
Section 09
How Kates Lane, Alston compares

Within Alston the street ranks 20 of 37 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £125,000 (-16.0%).
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
The full range on record runs from £13,000 to £195,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
