How Swallow Drive, Otley prices moved
The chart tracks the median Swallow Drive, Otley house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2001 to 2019. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 4 | £160,995 | £293,285 |
| 2010s | 2 | £270,000 | £380,700 |
The highest yearly median on record for Swallow Drive, Otley is £442,498 in 2019; the lowest is £149,950 in 2001. Across the full 19-year record the cash median has moved from £149,950 to £442,498.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £294,061, so the real change over the whole record is +96.8% — about +3.83% 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.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +90.3% in cash against +39.8% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

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.

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Swallow Drive, Otley
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 115 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 | 115 | 100.0% | £240,000 |
| New build | 29 | 25.2% | £164,995 |
| Existing home | 86 | 74.8% | £250,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -34.0%. 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.
Section 09

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Swallow Drive, Otley?
The median price paid in Swallow Drive, Otley across every sale on the register is £240,000. 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 Swallow Drive, Otley?
115 sales are on record for Swallow Drive, Otley, the most recent completing on 29 May 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Swallow Drive, Otley house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +90.3% between 2006 and 2019. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +39.8%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Swallow Drive, Otley house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £442,498, set in 2019. 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 Swallow Drive, Otley?
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 29 May 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.
