Ownership and new build in The Close, Merriott
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 11 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 11 | 100.0% | £155,000 |

Within Merriott the street ranks 26 of 34 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £178,000 (-12.9%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £3,070 per square metre, across 2 of the 11 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
