Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Common Street, Olney 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 | 28 | 44.4% | £225,000 | £72,500 – £440,000 |
| Detached | 23 | 36.5% | £375,000 | £125,000 – £1,950,000 |
| Terraced | 12 | 19.0% | £317,000 | £182,500 – £990,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Common Street, Olney
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 63 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 | 63 | 100.0% | £278,000 |
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 Common Street, Olney compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Common Street, Olney sits above that national figure — +76.5%.
Within Olney the street ranks 63 of 158 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £220,000 (+26.4%).
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
The full range on record runs from £72,500 to £1,950,000. 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 Common Street, Olney?
The median price paid in Common Street, Olney across every sale on the register is £278,000. 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 Common Street, Olney?
63 sales are on record for Common Street, Olney, the most recent completing on 20 Mar 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Common Street, Olney house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +59.1% between 1995 and 2002. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +38.2%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Common Street, Olney house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £202,000, set in 2002. 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 Common Street, Olney?
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 20 Mar 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.
