What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Downlands, Baldock 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 | 30 | 65.2% | £155,000 | £35,512 – £345,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Downlands, Baldock
12 of the sales on record are leasehold and 34 freehold — 26.1% 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 £47,100 and the median freehold sale £159,500 — a gap of +238.6%. 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 | 12 | 26.1% | £47,100 |
| Freehold | 34 | 73.9% | £159,500 |
Section 09
How Downlands, Baldock compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Downlands, Baldock sits below that national figure — -17.3%.
Within Baldock the street ranks 165 of 182 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £185,000 (-29.6%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,254 per square metre, across 9 of the 46 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 £28,000 to £345,000. 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.
