What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Forest Drive, Ongar 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 | 24 | 45.3% | £329,995 | £180,000 – £650,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Forest Drive, Ongar
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 53 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 | 53 | 100.0% | £340,000 |
| New build | 20 | 37.7% | £200,998 |
| Existing home | 33 | 62.3% | £395,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -49.1%. 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 09
How Forest Drive, Ongar compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Forest Drive, Ongar sits above that national figure — +115.9%.
Within Ongar the street ranks 75 of 146 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £295,000 (+15.3%).
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 £149,995 to £650,000. 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.

When were Forest Drive, Ongar house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £203,000, set in 2000. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
