How Vashon Close, Ludlow prices moved
The chart tracks the median Vashon Close, Ludlow house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2019. 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 | 3 | £70,748 | £157,093 |
| 2000s | 8 | £112,000 | £204,031 |
| 2010s | 3 | £194,000 | £273,540 |
The highest yearly median on record for Vashon Close, Ludlow is £225,000 in 2015; the lowest is £59,998 in 1998. Across the full 23-year record the cash median has moved from £70,748 to £194,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £150,006, so the real change over the whole record is +69.2% — about +2.42% 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: +44.8% in cash against +8.9% 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.

Homes that sold twice

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Vashon Close, 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 | 95 | 47.5% | £142,000 | £69,995 – £375,000 |
| Terraced | 93 | 46.5% | £86,000 | £42,500 – £270,000 |
| Semi-detached | 12 | 6.0% | £84,500 | £59,995 – £174,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Vashon Close, Ludlow
4 of the sales on record are leasehold and 196 freehold — 2.0% 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.
The median leasehold sale is £70,500 and the median freehold sale £105,500 — a gap of +49.6%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 4 | 2.0% | £70,500 |
| Freehold | 196 | 98.0% | £105,500 |
| New build | 60 | 30.0% | £69,998 |
| Existing home | 140 | 70.0% | £138,750 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -49.6%. 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 6 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 Vashon Close, Ludlow?
The median price paid in Vashon Close, Ludlow across every sale on the register is £105,000. 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.
How many homes have sold in Vashon Close, Ludlow?

In cash, the median rose +44.8% between 2007 and 2019. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +8.9%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Vashon Close, Ludlow house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £225,000, set in 2015. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.

£1,436 per square metre, from the 39 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.

The latest sale shown here completed on 26 Nov 2025. 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.
