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.

Section 03
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 Hitchen, Merriott values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Hitchen, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 41 | 52.6% | £136,500 | £16,000 – £294,000 |
| Terraced | 36 | 46.2% | £163,000 | £15,600 – £293,500 |
| Detached | 1 | 1.3% | £190,000 | £190,000 – £190,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Hitchen, Merriott
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 78 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 | 78 | 100.0% | £154,250 |
| New build | 3 | 3.8% | £76,950 |
| Existing home | 75 | 96.2% | £155,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -50.4%. 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.
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.
Section 09
How Hitchen, Merriott compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Hitchen, Merriott sits below that national figure — -2.1%.
Within Merriott the street ranks 28 of 34 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £178,000 (-13.3%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,452 per square metre, across 18 of the 78 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 £15,600 to £294,000. 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 Hitchen, Merriott?
The median price paid in Hitchen, Merriott across every sale on the register is £154,250. 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 Hitchen, Merriott?
78 sales are on record for Hitchen, Merriott, the most recent completing on 8 May 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

In cash, the median rose +113.7% between 2001 and 2007. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +89.5%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Hitchen, Merriott house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £156,000, set in 2007. 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 Hitchen, Merriott?
£1,452 per square metre, from the 18 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.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 8 May 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.
