Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Market Square, Bishops Castle 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 | 10 | 38.5% | £58,000 | £25,000 – £230,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 7 | 26.9% | £150,000 | £108,000 – £205,500 |
| Semi-detached | 7 | 26.9% | £120,000 | £65,000 – £459,999 |
| Detached | 2 | 7.7% | £67,000 | £67,000 – £247,500 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Market Square, Bishops Castle
7 of the sales on record are leasehold and 19 freehold — 26.9% 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 £150,000 and the median freehold sale £100,000 — a gap of -33.3%. 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 | 7 | 26.9% | £150,000 |
| Freehold | 19 | 73.1% | £100,000 |
A further 3 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 Market Square, Bishops Castle compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Market Square, Bishops Castle sits below that national figure — -22.2%.
Within Bishops Castle the street ranks 32 of 40 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £175,000 (-30.0%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £3,008 per square metre, across 5 of the 26 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 £25,000 to £459,999. 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.
