Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Chaucer Close, Billingham 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 81 | 100.0% | £142,950 | £83,500 – £280,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Chaucer Close, Billingham
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 81 freehold — 0.0% 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.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 81 | 100.0% | £142,950 |
| New build | 41 | 50.6% | £114,950 |
| Existing home | 40 | 49.4% | £185,498 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -38.0%. 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.

Living in Chaucer Close, Billingham
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Hartlepool, 45.6% of 56,840 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 3.3% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 338 | 0.6% |
| B | 6,493 | 11.4% |
| C | 19,068 | 33.5% |
| D | 22,342 | 39.3% |
| E | 6,737 | 11.9% |
| F | 1,401 | 2.5% |
| G | 461 | 0.8% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Hartlepool at £556 a month as of Jun 2026 — £399 for a one-bedroom home and £605 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £142,950 here, that rent is a gross yield of 4.67% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of TS23, 239 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 91 violent, 6 burglary, 4 vehicle-related and 31 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.4 times busier.
Against the 92,338 residents the 2021 census counted in Hartlepool, that is 2.59 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.
Section 08
The neighbourhood around Chaucer Close, Billingham
The 2021 census counted 92,338 residents in Hartlepool across 40,929 households. 58.8% of those households own their home and 41.0% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
9 state and independent schools have a TS23 postcode: 8 primary, 1 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

Within Billingham the street ranks 184 of 530 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £105,000 (+36.1%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,550 per square metre, across 16 of the 81 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

Chaucer Close, Billingham sits in Hartlepool, in the North East.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Hartlepool at 4.8 times median local earnings of £32,302 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Chaucer Close, Billingham?

How many homes have sold in Chaucer Close, Billingham?

When were Chaucer Close, Billingham house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £125,975, set in 2003. 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 Chaucer Close, Billingham?
£1,550 per square metre, from the 16 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.

The latest sale shown here completed on 14 Nov 2025. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
