How Prestleigh Road, Shepton Mallet prices moved
The chart tracks the median Prestleigh Road, Shepton Mallet house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2018. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 1 | £57,000 | £126,567 |
| 2000s | 1 | £78,975 | £143,869 |
| 2010s | 2 | £101,000 | £142,410 |
The highest yearly median on record for Prestleigh Road, Shepton Mallet is £171,250 in 2018; the lowest is £57,000 in 1996. Across the full 23-year record the cash median has moved from £57,000 to £171,250.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £123,646, so the real change over the whole record is +84.6% — about +2.83% 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: +116.8% in cash against +44.5% 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 Prestleigh Road, Shepton Mallet
34 of the sales on record are leasehold and 37 freehold — 47.9% 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 £91,975 and the median freehold sale £225,000 — a gap of +144.6%. 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 | 34 | 47.9% | £91,975 |
| Freehold | 37 | 52.1% | £225,000 |
Section 09
