Section 02
The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

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 Higher Street, Merriott 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. Higher Street, Merriott 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 | 18 | 35.3% | £282,000 | £82,500 – £515,000 |
| Terraced | 17 | 33.3% | £212,000 | £60,000 – £347,000 |
| Semi-detached | 15 | 29.4% | £212,000 | £31,500 – £400,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 1 | 2.0% | £68,000 | £68,000 – £68,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Higher Street, Merriott
1 of the sales on record are leasehold and 50 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 £68,000 and the median freehold sale £247,750 — a gap of +264.3%. 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 | 1 | 2.0% | £68,000 |
| Freehold | 50 | 98.0% | £247,750 |
A further 1 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.
Section 09
How Higher Street, Merriott compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Higher Street, Merriott sits above that national figure — +57.1%.
Within Merriott the street ranks 7 of 34 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £178,000 (+39.0%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,119 per square metre, across 6 of the 51 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £31,500 to £515,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Higher Street, Merriott?

How many homes have sold in Higher Street, Merriott?

When were Higher Street, Merriott house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £320,000, set in 2021. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Higher Street, Merriott?
£2,119 per square metre, from the 6 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 28 Feb 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.
