Section 02
The most recent sales

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 Festival Close, Devizes 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. Festival Close, Devizes 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 | 52 | 70.3% | £172,000 | £70,000 – £380,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 12 | 16.2% | £122,500 | £107,500 – £163,000 |
| Semi-detached | 7 | 9.5% | £195,000 | £125,000 – £217,000 |
| Detached | 3 | 4.1% | £197,500 | £155,000 – £225,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Festival Close, Devizes
13 of the sales on record are leasehold and 61 freehold — 17.6% 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 £122,500 and the median freehold sale £179,950 — a gap of +46.9%. 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 | 13 | 17.6% | £122,500 |
| Freehold | 61 | 82.4% | £179,950 |
| New build | 31 | 41.9% | £163,000 |
| Existing home | 43 | 58.1% | £190,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -14.2%. 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 2 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.

Living in Festival Close, Devizes
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Wiltshire, 46.2% of 244,491 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 5.6% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 1,879 | 0.8% |
| B | 35,247 | 14.4% |
| C | 75,811 | 31.0% |
| D | 82,467 | 33.7% |
| E | 35,498 | 14.5% |
| F | 10,863 | 4.4% |
| G | 2,726 | 1.1% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Wiltshire at £1,069 a month as of Jun 2026 — £740 for a one-bedroom home and £1,204 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £169,725 here, that rent is a gross yield of 7.56% 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 SN10, 68 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 37 violent, 1 burglary, 0 vehicle-related and 14 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.5 times quieter.
Against the 510,333 residents the 2021 census counted in Wiltshire, that is 0.13 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 Festival Close, Devizes
The 2021 census counted 510,333 residents in Wiltshire across 215,081 households. 68.0% of those households own their home and 31.9% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
17 state and independent schools have a SN10 postcode: 15 primary, 2 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How Festival Close, Devizes compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Festival Close, Devizes sits above that national figure — +7.8%.
Within Devizes the street ranks 291 of 464 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £185,000 (-8.3%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,830 per square metre, across 20 of the 74 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 £70,000 to £380,000. 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.
Festival Close, Devizes sits in Wiltshire, in the South West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Wiltshire at 8.8 times median local earnings of £36,370 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.
