Homes that sold twice

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Birch Close, Longfield 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 | 77.1% | £346,501 | £112,000 – £925,000 |
| Semi-detached | 11 | 22.9% | £299,000 | £86,500 – £440,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Birch Close, Longfield
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 48 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.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 48 | 100.0% | £333,500 |
| New build | 5 | 10.4% | £425,000 |
| Existing home | 43 | 89.6% | £327,500 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +29.8%. 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.
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.
Section 09
How Birch Close, Longfield compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Birch Close, Longfield sits above that national figure — +111.7%.
Within Longfield the street ranks 81 of 171 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £249,995 (+33.4%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £3,582 per square metre, across 9 of the 48 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 £86,500 to £925,000. 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.
