What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Waterloo Road, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 18 | 38.3% | £166,000 | £21,000 – £395,000 |
| Semi-detached | 14 | 29.8% | £150,000 | £45,000 – £360,000 |
| Detached | 14 | 29.8% | £205,000 | £65,000 – £375,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 1 | 2.1% | £117,000 | £117,000 – £117,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Waterloo Road, Shepton Mallet
1 of the sales on record are leasehold and 46 freehold — 2.1% 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 £117,000 and the median freehold sale £175,500 — a gap of +50.0%. 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 | 1 | 2.1% | £117,000 |
| Freehold | 46 | 97.9% | £175,500 |
| New build | 2 | 4.3% | £136,000 |
| Existing home | 45 | 95.7% | £175,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -22.3%. 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.
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 Waterloo Road, Shepton Mallet compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Waterloo Road, Shepton Mallet sits above that national figure — +11.1%.
Within Shepton Mallet the street ranks 145 of 301 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £162,000 (+8.0%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,006 per square metre, across 13 of the 47 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 £21,000 to £395,000. 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.
