How Samor Way, Didcot prices moved
The chart tracks the median Samor Way, Didcot house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2024. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 4 | £63,750 | £141,555 |
| 2000s | 8 | £153,725 | £280,042 |
| 2010s | 2 | £183,500 | £258,735 |
| 2020s | 3 | £265,000 | £270,761 |
The highest yearly median on record for Samor Way, Didcot is £297,500 in 2023; the lowest is £54,750 in 1996. Across the full 29-year record the cash median has moved from £54,750 to £240,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £118,765, so the real change over the whole record is +112.6% — about +2.73% 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.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +30.8% in cash against -5.6% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

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.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Samor Way, Didcot 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 | 116 | 63.4% | £150,000 | £46,500 – £350,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Samor Way, Didcot
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 183 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 | 183 | 100.0% | £156,950 |
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 Samor Way, Didcot
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across South Oxfordshire, 47.1% of 69,345 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 5.5% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in South Oxfordshire at £1,384 a month as of Jun 2026 — £1,028 for a one-bedroom home and £1,592 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £156,950 here, that rent is a gross yield of 10.58% 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 OX11, 135 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 60 violent, 1 burglary, 2 vehicle-related and 21 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.2 times quieter.
Against the 149,085 residents the 2021 census counted in South Oxfordshire, that is 0.91 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.

How Samor Way, Didcot compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Samor Way, Didcot sits below that national figure — -0.3%.
Within Didcot the street ranks 473 of 582 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £206,000 (-23.8%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,669 per square metre, across 50 of the 183 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 £44,000 to £550,000. 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.
Samor Way, Didcot sits in South Oxfordshire, in the South East.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in South Oxfordshire at 10.0 times median local earnings of £44,822 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Samor Way, Didcot?
The median price paid in Samor Way, Didcot across every sale on the register is £156,950. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Samor Way, Didcot?
183 sales are on record for Samor Way, Didcot, the most recent completing on 10 Apr 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Samor Way, Didcot house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +30.8% between 2013 and 2024. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -5.6%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Samor Way, Didcot house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £297,500, set in 2023. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Samor Way, Didcot?
£2,669 per square metre, from the 50 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 10 Apr 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
