Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Upper High Street, Thame values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Upper High Street, Thame 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 | 15 | 29.4% | £342,500 | £95,000 – £1,000,000 |
| Semi-detached | 14 | 27.5% | £195,000 | £102,500 – £485,000 |
| Detached | 11 | 21.6% | £700,000 | £125,000 – £1,900,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 11 | 21.6% | £235,000 | £154,000 – £830,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Upper High Street, Thame
9 of the sales on record are leasehold and 42 freehold — 17.6% 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 £235,000 and the median freehold sale £320,000 — a gap of +36.2%. 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 | 9 | 17.6% | £235,000 |
| Freehold | 42 | 82.4% | £320,000 |
| New build | 6 | 11.8% | £262,000 |
| Existing home | 45 | 88.2% | £315,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -16.8%. 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 9 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 Upper High Street, Thame compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Upper High Street, Thame sits above that national figure — +84.1%.
Within Thame the street ranks 112 of 226 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £245,000 (+18.4%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £3,974 per square metre, across 4 of the 51 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 £95,000 to £1,900,000. 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.

Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Upper High Street, Thame?

How many homes have sold in Upper High Street, Thame?
51 sales are on record for Upper High Street, Thame, the most recent completing on 14 Apr 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

When were Upper High Street, Thame house prices at their highest?

What is the price per square metre in Upper High Street, Thame?
£3,974 per square metre, from the 4 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 14 Apr 2025. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
