How Hilltop Drive, Oakham prices moved
The chart tracks the median Hilltop Drive, Oakham house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2000. 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 | 2 | £83,500 | £185,409 |
| 2000s | 1 | £89,000 | £162,132 |
The highest yearly median on record for Hilltop Drive, Oakham is £89,000 in 2000; the lowest is £83,500 in 1996. Across the full 5-year record the cash median has moved from £83,500 to £89,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £181,131, so the real change over the whole record is -1.7% — about -0.43% 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.
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.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Hilltop Drive, Oakham 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 | 62 | 80.5% | £95,000 | £54,995 – £345,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Hilltop Drive, Oakham
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 77 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 | 77 | 100.0% | £95,000 |
| New build | 30 | 39.0% | £84,995 |
| Existing home | 47 | 61.0% | £173,500 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -51.0%. 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.
