How Highfields, Bishop Auckland prices moved
The chart tracks the median Highfields, Bishop Auckland house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2006 to 2009. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 4 | £148,000 | £269,612 |
The highest yearly median on record for Highfields, Bishop Auckland is £162,995 in 2006; the lowest is £108,000 in 2009. Across the full 4-year record the cash median has moved from £162,995 to £108,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £290,180, so the real change over the whole record is -38.8% — about -15.12% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Section 02
The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

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 Highfields, Bishop Auckland values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Highfields, Bishop Auckland 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 | 36 | 53.7% | £149,102 | £112,000 – £182,250 |
| Terraced | 16 | 23.9% | £93,600 | £70,000 – £125,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Highfields, Bishop Auckland
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 67 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 | 67 | 100.0% | £125,000 |
| New build | 37 | 55.2% | £128,000 |
| Existing home | 30 | 44.8% | £123,500 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +3.6%. 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.
A further 4 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

Within Bishop Auckland the street ranks 197 of 805 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £80,000 (+56.3%).

The full range on record runs from £52,000 to £182,250. 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.
