How The Forge, Cottingham prices moved

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. The Forge, Cottingham 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 8 | 72.7% | £68,950 | £64,350 – £180,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in The Forge, Cottingham
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 11 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 | 11 | 100.0% | £75,950 |
| New build | 3 | 27.3% | £65,000 |
| Existing home | 8 | 72.7% | £137,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -52.6%. 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.
Section 09
How The Forge, Cottingham compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. The Forge, Cottingham sits below that national figure — -51.8%.
Within Cottingham the street ranks 254 of 263 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £150,000 (-49.4%).
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 £59,950 to £180,000. 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.
