What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Lower Gale, 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 | 25 | 62.5% | £242,500 | £55,000 – £330,000 |
| Detached | 7 | 17.5% | £300,000 | £110,000 – £900,000 |
| Terraced | 6 | 15.0% | £225,000 | £44,000 – £555,000 |
| Semi-detached | 2 | 5.0% | £100,000 | £100,000 – £340,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Lower Gale, Ambleside
26 of the sales on record are leasehold and 14 freehold — 65.0% 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 £241,750 and the median freehold sale £297,000 — a gap of +22.9%. 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 | 26 | 65.0% | £241,750 |
| Freehold | 14 | 35.0% | £297,000 |
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 Lower Gale, Ambleside compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Lower Gale, Ambleside sits above that national figure — +54.8%.
Within Ambleside the street ranks 62 of 115 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £249,500 (-2.3%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,154 per square metre, across 4 of the 40 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 £44,000 to £900,000. 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.
