What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Downton View, Ludlow is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Downton View, Ludlow
1 of the sales on record are leasehold and 65 freehold — 1.5% 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 | 1 | 1.5% | £17,000 |
| Freehold | 65 | 98.5% | £165,500 |
