How Heather Drive, Thatcham prices moved
The chart tracks the median Heather Drive, Thatcham house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1998 to 2025. 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 | 2 | £112,950 | £250,802 |
| 2000s | 5 | £224,000 | £408,062 |
| 2010s | 1 | £249,999 | £352,499 |
| 2020s | 2 | £437,000 | £446,500 |
The highest yearly median on record for Heather Drive, Thatcham is £450,000 in 2025; the lowest is £112,950 in 1998. Across the full 28-year record the cash median has moved from £112,950 to £450,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £234,205, so the real change over the whole record is +96.3% — about +2.53% 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: +80.0% in cash against +20.0% 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.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Heather Drive, Thatcham 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 | 80 | 55.2% | £215,000 | £105,500 – £487,500 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Heather Drive, Thatcham
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 145 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 | 145 | 100.0% | £218,500 |
| New build | 37 | 25.5% | £116,950 |
| Existing home | 108 | 74.5% | £239,500 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -51.2%. 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
