What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Friars Field, Ludlow 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 41 | 63.1% | £61,500 | £49,500 – £205,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Friars Field, Ludlow
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 65 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 | 65 | 100.0% | £69,500 |
| New build | 30 | 46.2% | £53,600 |
| Existing home | 35 | 53.8% | £132,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -59.4%. 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.
