Section 06
Ownership and new build in The Orchard, Etchingham
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 15 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 | 15 | 100.0% | £375,000 |
| New build | 4 | 26.7% | £266,000 |
| Existing home | 11 | 73.3% | £449,500 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -40.8%. 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
