How Mortimer Drive, Ludlow prices moved
The chart tracks the median Mortimer Drive, Ludlow house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2021. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 1 | £68,000 | £150,992 |
| 2000s | 1 | £190,000 | £346,124 |
| 2020s | 1 | £252,500 | £257,989 |
The highest yearly median on record for Mortimer Drive, Ludlow is £252,500 in 2021; the lowest is £68,000 in 1997. Across the full 25-year record the cash median has moved from £68,000 to £252,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £144,180, so the real change over the whole record is +121.3% — about +3.36% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +32.9% in cash against -3.4% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The most recent sales

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Mortimer Drive, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 34 | 49.3% | £190,000 | £59,950 – £400,000 |
| Semi-detached | 27 | 39.1% | £175,000 | £50,000 – £435,000 |
| Terraced | 8 | 11.6% | £69,500 | £51,000 – £194,950 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Mortimer Drive, Ludlow
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 69 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 | 69 | 100.0% | £175,000 |
| New build | 1 | 1.4% | £54,000 |
| Existing home | 68 | 98.6% | £175,500 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -69.2%. 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 2 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Mortimer Drive, Ludlow?
The median price paid in Mortimer Drive, Ludlow across every sale on the register is £175,000. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.

In cash, the median rose +32.9% between 2007 and 2021. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -3.4%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Mortimer Drive, Ludlow house prices at their highest?

How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 28 Nov 2024. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
