Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. West Drive, Porthcawl 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat or maisonette | 28 | 48.3% | £150,000 | £15,000 – £360,000 |
| Detached | 26 | 44.8% | £415,000 | £75,000 – £835,000 |
| Semi-detached | 4 | 6.9% | £122,500 | £95,000 – £525,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in West Drive, Porthcawl
26 of the sales on record are leasehold and 32 freehold — 44.8% 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.
The median leasehold sale is £152,500 and the median freehold sale £355,500 — a gap of +133.1%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 26 | 44.8% | £152,500 |
| Freehold | 32 | 55.2% | £355,500 |
A further 4 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 West Drive, Porthcawl compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. West Drive, Porthcawl sits above that national figure — +61.9%.
Within Porthcawl the street ranks 42 of 237 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £165,000 (+54.5%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,481 per square metre, across 8 of the 58 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £15,000 to £835,000. 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.
