The chart tracks the median Old Mill Close, Hereford house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2003 to 2026. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.

The highest yearly median on record for Old Mill Close, Hereford is £154,000 in 2016; the lowest is £88,750 in 2014. Across the full 24-year record the cash median has moved from £105,450 to £115,000.

In 2026 money that first median is worth £199,309, so the real change over the whole record is -42.3% — about -2.36% 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: -25.3% in cash against -46.5% 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.

These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Old Mill Close, Hereford values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Old Mill Close, Hereford is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.

159 of the sales on record are leasehold and 45 freehold — 77.9% 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.

The median leasehold sale is £110,000 and the median freehold sale £165,000 — a gap of +50.0%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.

New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -0.2%. 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.

A further 3 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.
