What sells here

The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Esplanade, Seaview is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.

Section 06

Ownership and new build in Esplanade, Seaview

1 of the sales on record are leasehold and 10 freehold — 9.1% 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 £59,000 and the median freehold sale £266,000 — a gap of +350.8%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.

A further 2 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 Esplanade, Seaview compares

The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Esplanade, Seaview sits above that national figure — +58.4%.

Within Seaview the street ranks 30 of 64 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £230,000 (+8.5%).

Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,331 per square metre, across 1 of the 11 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 £59,000 to £570,000. 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.
