Homes that sold twice

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Gale Rigg, Ambleside 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat or maisonette | 17 | 50.0% | £246,000 | £50,000 – £388,000 |
| Detached | 12 | 35.3% | £450,000 | £130,000 – £825,000 |
| Semi-detached | 5 | 14.7% | £245,000 | £92,000 – £355,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Gale Rigg, Ambleside
17 of the sales on record are leasehold and 17 freehold — 50.0% 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 £246,000 and the median freehold sale £345,000 — a gap of +40.2%. 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 | 17 | 50.0% | £246,000 |
| Freehold | 17 | 50.0% | £345,000 |
A further 1 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 Gale Rigg, Ambleside compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Gale Rigg, Ambleside sits above that national figure — +57.4%.
Within Ambleside the street ranks 56 of 115 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £249,500 (-0.6%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £3,654 per square metre, across 7 of the 34 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 £50,000 to £825,000. 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.
