What sells here

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Cuckoo Hill, Bures
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 31 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 | 31 | 100.0% | £250,000 |
| New build | 5 | 16.1% | £210,000 |
| Existing home | 26 | 83.9% | £272,500 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -22.9%. 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 Cuckoo Hill, Bures compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Cuckoo Hill, Bures sits above that national figure — +58.7%.
Within Bures the street ranks 19 of 41 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £238,000 (+5.0%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,965 per square metre, across 6 of the 31 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
