Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Rumford Way, 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 | 16 | 88.9% | £52,500 | £33,750 – £182,500 |
| Flat or maisonette | 1 | 5.6% | £76,000 | £76,000 – £76,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Rumford Way, Leyburn
15 of the sales on record are leasehold and 3 freehold — 83.3% 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 £52,500 and the median freehold sale £138,000 — a gap of +162.9%. 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 | 15 | 83.3% | £52,500 |
| Freehold | 3 | 16.7% | £138,000 |
| New build | 5 | 27.8% | £52,500 |
| Existing home | 13 | 72.2% | £78,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -32.7%. 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.

Against the median sale of £58,600 here, that rent is a gross yield of 17.16% 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.
