Homes that sold twice

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Driftlands, Fakenham 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 | 22 | 48.9% | £139,500 | £32,000 – £267,500 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Driftlands, Fakenham
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 45 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 | 45 | 100.0% | £165,000 |
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.
Section 09
How Driftlands, Fakenham compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Driftlands, Fakenham sits above that national figure — +4.8%.
Within Fakenham the street ranks 148 of 290 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £150,000 (+10.0%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,674 per square metre, across 9 of the 45 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 £32,000 to £395,000. 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Driftlands, Fakenham?

How many homes have sold in Driftlands, Fakenham?
45 sales are on record for Driftlands, Fakenham, the most recent completing on 14 Aug 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

When were Driftlands, Fakenham house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £260,000, 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 Driftlands, Fakenham?
£2,674 per square metre, from the 9 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 14 Aug 2025. 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.
