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 Old School Close, Leyburn values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Old School Close, Leyburn 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 | 20 | 55.6% | £167,500 | £59,900 – £280,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 10 | 27.8% | £129,950 | £43,500 – £199,000 |
| Terraced | 4 | 11.1% | £182,500 | £85,000 – £215,000 |
| Detached | 2 | 5.6% | £72,500 | £72,500 – £292,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Old School Close, Leyburn
10 of the sales on record are leasehold and 26 freehold — 27.8% 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 £132,475 and the median freehold sale £185,750 — a gap of +40.2%. 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 | 10 | 27.8% | £132,475 |
| Freehold | 26 | 72.2% | £185,750 |
| New build | 2 | 5.6% | £60,000 |
| Existing home | 34 | 94.4% | £161,875 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -62.9%. 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 1 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.

Living in Old School Close, Leyburn
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across North Yorkshire, 38.1% of 324,488 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 8.5% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 2,546 | 0.8% |
| B | 37,477 | 11.5% |
| C | 83,448 | 25.7% |

| E | 55,738 | 17.2% |
| F | 20,519 | 6.3% |
| G | 6,935 | 2.1% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in North Yorkshire at £838 a month as of Jun 2026 — £586 for a one-bedroom home and £929 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £153,125 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.57% 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.
No street-level crime was published for DL8 in Jun 2026. Several forces do not supply street-level data to police.uk, so this is a gap in the source rather than a crime-free month — and printing a zero would say something the data does not.

How Old School Close, Leyburn compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Old School Close, Leyburn sits below that national figure — -2.8%.
Within Leyburn the street ranks 103 of 137 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £200,000 (-23.4%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £817 per square metre, across 2 of the 36 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 £43,500 to £292,000. 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.
Old School Close, Leyburn sits in North Yorkshire, in the Yorkshire and The Humber.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in North Yorkshire at 7.9 times median local earnings of £34,785 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.
