Section 02
The most recent sales

Homes that sold twice
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 Overburn, Alston values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.
| Address | First recorded sale | Most recent sale | Cash a year | Real a year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| JAYCOT Overburn | £75,000 (2012) | £295,000 (2024) | +12.1% | +8.9% |

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Overburn, Alston is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 7 | 50.0% | £110,000 | £75,000 – £295,000 |
| Semi-detached | 6 | 42.9% | £115,000 | £42,000 – £250,000 |
| Detached | 1 | 7.1% | £202,500 | £202,500 – £202,500 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Overburn, Alston
9 of the sales on record are leasehold and 5 freehold — 64.3% 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 £115,000 and the median freehold sale £120,000 — a gap of +4.3%. 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 | 9 | 64.3% | £115,000 |
| Freehold | 5 | 35.7% | £120,000 |
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.
Section 09
How Overburn, Alston compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Overburn, Alston sits below that national figure — -25.4%.
Within Alston the street ranks 17 of 37 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £125,000 (-6.0%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,337 per square metre, across 6 of the 14 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £42,000 to £295,000. 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.
