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 The Ferns, Bacup values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. The Ferns, Bacup 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 24 | 54.5% | £87,950 | £48,000 – £123,000 |
| Detached | 18 | 40.9% | £89,950 | £43,000 – £285,000 |
| Terraced | 2 | 4.5% | £136,000 | £136,000 – £173,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in The Ferns, Bacup
41 of the sales on record are leasehold and 3 freehold — 93.2% 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 £89,950 and the median freehold sale £136,000 — a gap of +51.2%. 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 | 41 | 93.2% | £89,950 |
| Freehold | 3 | 6.8% | £136,000 |
| New build | 17 | 38.6% | £59,950 |
| Existing home | 27 | 61.4% | £102,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -41.2%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
Section 09
How The Ferns, Bacup compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. The Ferns, Bacup sits below that national figure — -42.9%.
Within Bacup the street ranks 122 of 297 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £79,950 (+12.5%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,193 per square metre, across 10 of the 44 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 £43,000 to £285,000. 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.

When were The Ferns, Bacup house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £61,475, set in 2001. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in The Ferns, Bacup?
