Section 06
Ownership and new build in Sorrel Drive, Lightwater
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 24 freehold — 0.0% 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.

| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 24 | 100.0% | £497,475 |

What is the price per square metre in Sorrel Drive, Lightwater?
£3,456 per square metre, from the 3 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
