How Blackthorn Drive, Thatcham prices moved
The chart tracks the median Blackthorn Drive, Thatcham house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1999 to 2012. 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 | £240,998 | £535,128 |
| 2000s | 6 | £295,000 | £537,403 |
| 2010s | 1 | £390,000 | £549,900 |
The highest yearly median on record for Blackthorn Drive, Thatcham is £390,000 in 2012; the lowest is £204,995 in 2000. Across the full 14-year record the cash median has moved from £240,998 to £390,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £491,050, so the real change over the whole record is +18.6% — about +1.32% 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: +34.6% in cash against +4.3% 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.

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Blackthorn Drive, Thatcham
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 116 freehold — 0.0% 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.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 116 | 100.0% | £304,500 |
| New build | 46 | 39.7% | £211,973 |
| Existing home | 70 | 60.3% | £370,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -42.7%. 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
