Section 06

Ownership and new build in High Street, Beaminster

1 of the sales on record are leasehold and 30 freehold — 3.2% 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 £400,000 and the median freehold sale £250,000 — a gap of -37.5%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.

CategorySalesShareMedian paid
Leasehold13.2%£400,000
Freehold3096.8%£250,000
New build412.9%£149,975
Existing home2787.1%£285,000
Shares are of the sales used on this page.

New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -47.4%. 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 High Street, Beaminster compares

The median across the whole archive is £157,500. High Street, Beaminster sits above that national figure — +58.7%.

Within Beaminster the street ranks 41 of 108 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £215,000 (+16.3%).

No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.

The full range on record runs from £54,950 to £580,000. 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.
