How Wellow Drive, Frome prices moved
The chart tracks the median Wellow Drive, Frome house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2000 to 2006. 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 | 4 | £142,500 | £259,593 |
The highest yearly median on record for Wellow Drive, Frome is £274,000 in 2006; the lowest is £140,000 in 2001. Across the full 7-year record the cash median has moved from £142,500 to £274,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £285,000, so the real change over the whole record is +71.2% — about +9.37% 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: +92.3% in cash against +71.2% 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.

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. Wellow Drive, Frome 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 | 85 | 100.0% | £174,950 | £94,950 – £465,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Wellow Drive, Frome
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 85 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 | 85 | 100.0% | £174,950 |
| New build | 35 | 41.2% | £146,000 |
| Existing home | 50 | 58.8% | £269,500 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -45.8%. 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.

Living in Wellow Drive, Frome
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Somerset, 45.0% of 296,416 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 7.1% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Somerset at £1,000 a month as of Jun 2026 — £680 for a one-bedroom home and £1,117 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £174,950 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.86% 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 BA11, 240 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 83 violent, 3 burglary, 5 vehicle-related and 40 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.4 times busier.
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.

Wellow Drive, Frome sits in Somerset, in the South West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Somerset at 8.0 times median local earnings of £35,440 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 Wellow Drive, Frome?

How many homes have sold in Wellow Drive, Frome?
85 sales are on record for Wellow Drive, Frome, the most recent completing on 2 Feb 2024. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

When were Wellow Drive, Frome house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £274,000, set in 2006. 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 Wellow Drive, Frome?
£1,900 per square metre, from the 13 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 2 Feb 2024. 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.
