Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Back Lane, Shepton Mallet 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 | 42 | 70.0% | £242,500 | £64,000 – £1,660,000 |
| Semi-detached | 10 | 16.7% | £90,000 | £32,000 – £396,000 |
| Terraced | 8 | 13.3% | £230,000 | £132,500 – £280,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Back Lane, Shepton Mallet
17 of the sales on record are leasehold and 43 freehold — 28.3% 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 £150,000 and the median freehold sale £270,000 — a gap of +80.0%. 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 | 17 | 28.3% | £150,000 |
| Freehold | 43 | 71.7% | £270,000 |
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 Back Lane, Shepton Mallet compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Back Lane, Shepton Mallet sits above that national figure — +46.0%.
Within Shepton Mallet the street ranks 82 of 301 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £162,000 (+42.0%).
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 £32,000 to £1,660,000. 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.
