How Plough Lane, Shefford prices moved
The chart tracks the median Plough Lane, Shefford house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2013 to 2025. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2010s | 3 | £290,000 | £408,900 |
| 2020s | 2 | £193,000 | £197,196 |
The highest yearly median on record for Plough Lane, Shefford is £354,995 in 2013; the lowest is £193,000 in 2021. Across the full 13-year record the cash median has moved from £354,995 to £324,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £517,625, so the real change over the whole record is -36.0% — about -3.66% 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: +35.0% in cash against -3.8% 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 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Plough Lane, Shefford 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 27 | 56.3% | £232,646 | £100,000 – £347,500 |
| Detached | 12 | 25.0% | £449,995 | £354,995 – £520,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Plough Lane, Shefford
10 of the sales on record are leasehold and 38 freehold — 20.8% 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 £116,000 and the median freehold sale £306,500 — a gap of +164.2%. 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 | 10 | 20.8% | £116,000 |
| Freehold | 38 | 79.2% | £306,500 |
| New build | 19 | 39.6% | £244,995 |
| Existing home | 29 | 60.4% | £270,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -9.3%. 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 Plough Lane, Shefford compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Plough Lane, Shefford sits above that national figure — +60.3%.
