Section 02
The most recent sales
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.

Section 03
Homes that sold twice
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 Highfield, Ilminster values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Highfield, Ilminster 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 | 37 | 69.8% | £242,850 | £29,129 – £470,000 |
| Semi-detached | 10 | 18.9% | £125,250 | £51,000 – £265,000 |
| Terraced | 6 | 11.3% | £59,950 | £52,500 – £242,500 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Highfield, Ilminster
2 of the sales on record are leasehold and 51 freehold — 3.8% 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 £56,225 and the median freehold sale £230,000 — a gap of +309.1%. 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 | 2 | 3.8% | £56,225 |
| Freehold | 51 | 96.2% | £230,000 |
| New build | 5 | 9.4% | £33,192 |
| Existing home | 48 | 90.6% | £236,500 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -86.0%. 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 Highfield, Ilminster compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Highfield, Ilminster sits above that national figure — +41.3%.
Within Ilminster the street ranks 83 of 189 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £183,000 (+21.6%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,167 per square metre, across 19 of the 53 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 £29,129 to £470,000. 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.
