Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Cholmley Drive, Newton-le-willows 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 | 68 | 100.0% | £154,000 | £111,950 – £425,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Cholmley Drive, Newton-le-willows
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 68 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 | 68 | 100.0% | £154,475 |
| New build | 30 | 44.1% | £130,926 |
| Existing home | 38 | 55.9% | £204,975 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -36.1%. 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.
Section 07
Living in Cholmley Drive, Newton-le-willows
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across St. Helens, 45.4% of 92,985 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 2.9% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 254 | 0.3% |
| B | 8,496 | 9.1% |
| C | 33,448 | 36.0% |
| D | 37,715 | 40.6% |
| E | 10,397 | 11.2% |
| F | 1,997 | 2.1% |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in St. Helens at £798 a month as of Jun 2026 — £587 for a one-bedroom home and £890 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £154,475 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.20% 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 WA12, 180 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 70 violent, 10 burglary, 13 vehicle-related and 18 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is about typical.
Against the 183,248 residents the 2021 census counted in St. Helens, that is 0.98 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 Cholmley Drive, Newton-le-willows
The 2021 census counted 183,248 residents in St. Helens across 81,013 households. 65.0% of those households own their home and 34.9% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
8 state and independent schools have a WA12 postcode: 7 primary, 1 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

Cholmley Drive, Newton-le-willows sits in St. Helens, in the North West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in St. Helens at 5.7 times median local earnings of £33,379 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.

What is the average house price in Cholmley Drive, Newton-le-willows?
The median price paid in Cholmley Drive, Newton-le-willows across every sale on the register is £154,475. 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 Cholmley Drive, Newton-le-willows?
68 sales are on record for Cholmley Drive, Newton-le-willows, the most recent completing on 27 Nov 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
When were Cholmley Drive, Newton-le-willows house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £134,600, set in 2001. 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 Cholmley Drive, Newton-le-willows?
£1,333 per square metre, from the 11 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 27 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.
