Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Unsworth Street, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 38 | 95.0% | £55,000 | £11,500 – £124,000 |
| Detached | 2 | 5.0% | £250,000 | £250,000 – £320,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Unsworth Street, Bacup
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 £61,500 and the median freehold sale £58,225 — a gap of -5.3%. 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 | 26 | 65.0% | £61,500 |
| Freehold | 14 | 35.0% | £58,225 |
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 Unsworth Street, Bacup compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Unsworth Street, Bacup sits below that national figure — -61.4%.
Within Bacup the street ranks 196 of 297 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £79,950 (-24.0%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £941 per square metre, across 10 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 £11,500 to £320,000. 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.
