How The Butts, Alston prices moved

Section 02
The most recent sales
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.

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 The Butts, Alston values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. The Butts, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 12 | 29.3% | £100,000 | £23,000 – £295,000 |
| Terraced | 11 | 26.8% | £83,250 | £16,500 – £282,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 9 | 22.0% | £50,000 | £19,500 – £132,750 |
| Semi-detached | 9 | 22.0% | £125,000 | £20,000 – £177,500 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in The Butts, Alston
22 of the sales on record are leasehold and 19 freehold — 53.7% 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 £78,000 and the median freehold sale £110,000 — a gap of +41.0%. 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 | 22 | 53.7% | £78,000 |
| Freehold | 19 | 46.3% | £110,000 |
A further 4 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 The Butts, Alston compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. The Butts, Alston sits below that national figure — -47.1%.
Within Alston the street ranks 27 of 37 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £125,000 (-33.4%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,439 per square metre, across 23 of the 41 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 £16,500 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in The Butts, Alston?
The median price paid in The Butts, Alston across every sale on the register is £83,250. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in The Butts, Alston?
41 sales are on record for The Butts, Alston, the most recent completing on 20 Mar 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
What is the price per square metre in The Butts, Alston?
£1,439 per square metre, from the 23 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 20 Mar 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
