How Wardway, Alston prices moved

Section 02

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

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Wardway, Alston
2 of the sales on record are leasehold and 3 freehold — 40.0% 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.
The median leasehold sale is £230,000 and the median freehold sale £220,000 — 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 | 2 | 40.0% | £230,000 |
| Freehold | 3 | 60.0% | £220,000 |
Section 09

Within Alston the street ranks 2 of 37 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £125,000 (+76.0%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,341 per square metre, across 1 of the 5 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
