How Hillcrest, Ellesmere prices moved
The chart tracks the median Hillcrest, Ellesmere house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2001 to 2021. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 5 | £187,495 | £341,561 |
| 2010s | 1 | £229,995 | £324,293 |
| 2020s | 2 | £265,000 | £270,761 |
The highest yearly median on record for Hillcrest, Ellesmere is £285,000 in 2021; the lowest is £124,995 in 2001. Across the full 21-year record the cash median has moved from £124,995 to £285,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £245,122, so the real change over the whole record is +46.9% — about +1.94% 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: +23.1% in cash against -12.6% 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.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Hillcrest, Ellesmere 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 120 | 89.6% | £192,995 | £68,000 – £530,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Hillcrest, Ellesmere
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 134 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 | 134 | 100.0% | £184,998 |
| New build | 55 | 41.0% | £136,995 |
| Existing home | 79 | 59.0% | £226,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -39.4%. 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

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Hillcrest, Ellesmere?
The median price paid in Hillcrest, Ellesmere across every sale on the register is £184,998. 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 Hillcrest, Ellesmere?
134 sales are on record for Hillcrest, Ellesmere, the most recent completing on 26 May 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Hillcrest, Ellesmere house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +23.1% between 2006 and 2021. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -12.6%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Hillcrest, Ellesmere house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £285,000, set in 2021. 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 Hillcrest, Ellesmere?
£1,857 per square metre, from the 18 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 26 May 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.
