How Westbury View, Melksham prices moved
The chart tracks the median Westbury View, Melksham house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1999 to 2015. 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 | £52,000 | £115,465 |
| 2000s | 1 | £133,000 | £242,287 |
| 2010s | 1 | £156,375 | £220,489 |
The highest yearly median on record for Westbury View, Melksham is £156,375 in 2015; the lowest is £52,000 in 1999. Across the full 17-year record the cash median has moved from £52,000 to £156,375.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £105,954, so the real change over the whole record is +108.1% — about +4.69% 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: +200.7% in cash against +108.1% 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
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Westbury View, Melksham values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Westbury View, Melksham 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 | 34 | 44.7% | £126,250 | £39,500 – £266,500 |
| Semi-detached | 33 | 43.4% | £133,000 | £39,000 – £257,000 |
| Detached | 5 | 6.6% | £208,000 | £47,000 – £280,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 4 | 5.3% | £36,250 | £31,500 – £105,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Westbury View, Melksham
4 of the sales on record are leasehold and 72 freehold — 5.3% 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 £46,250 and the median freehold sale £133,000 — a gap of +187.6%. 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 | 5.3% | £46,250 |
| Freehold | 72 | 94.7% | £133,000 |
A further 3 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.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Wiltshire, 46.2% of 244,491 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 5.6% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Wiltshire at £1,069 a month as of Jun 2026 — £740 for a one-bedroom home and £1,204 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £129,998 here, that rent is a gross yield of 9.87% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of SN12, 138 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 51 violent, 2 burglary, 3 vehicle-related and 35 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.2 times quieter.
Against the 510,333 residents the 2021 census counted in Wiltshire, that is 0.27 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.
Section 08
The neighbourhood around Westbury View, Melksham
The 2021 census counted 510,333 residents in Wiltshire across 215,081 households. 68.0% of those households own their home and 31.9% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

How Westbury View, Melksham compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Westbury View, Melksham sits below that national figure — -17.5%.
Within Melksham the street ranks 309 of 374 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £167,500 (-22.4%).

Westbury View, Melksham sits in Wiltshire, in the South West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Wiltshire at 8.8 times median local earnings of £36,370 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Westbury View, Melksham?

£2,088 per square metre, from the 19 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 15 Jun 2026. 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.
