How The Ridgeway, Holywell prices moved
The chart tracks the median The Ridgeway, Holywell house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2008 to 2014. 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 | 1 | £193,450 | £352,409 |
| 2010s | 3 | £242,377 | £341,751 |
The highest yearly median on record for The Ridgeway, Holywell is £249,950 in 2011; the lowest is £193,450 in 2008. Across the full 7-year record the cash median has moved from £193,450 to £242,377.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £324,720, so the real change over the whole record is +7.1% — about +1.14% 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 +7.1% 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.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. The Ridgeway, Holywell 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 | 43 | 97.7% | £235,450 | £47,000 – £325,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 1 | 2.3% | £249,950 | £249,950 – £249,950 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in The Ridgeway, Holywell
7 of the sales on record are leasehold and 37 freehold — 15.9% 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 £249,950 and the median freehold sale £231,450 — a gap of -7.4%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 7 | 15.9% | £249,950 |
| Freehold | 37 | 84.1% | £231,450 |
| New build | 25 | 56.8% | £241,500 |
| Existing home | 19 | 43.2% | £220,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +9.8%. 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
How The Ridgeway, Holywell compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. The Ridgeway, Holywell sits above that national figure — +50.1%.
Within Holywell the street ranks 32 of 310 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £115,000 (+105.6%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,936 per square metre, across 7 of the 44 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 £47,000 to £325,000. 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.
