Section 03
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 Legat Close, Wadhurst 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. Legat Close, Wadhurst 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 13 | 54.2% | £675,000 | £652,500 – £740,000 |
| Detached | 11 | 45.8% | £1,350,000 | £665,000 – £1,475,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Legat Close, Wadhurst
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 24 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 | 24 | 100.0% | £695,000 |
| New build | 10 | 41.7% | £1,325,000 |
| Existing home | 14 | 58.3% | £677,500 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +95.6%. 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 3 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 Legat Close, Wadhurst compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Legat Close, Wadhurst sits above that national figure — +341.3%.
Within Wadhurst the street ranks 13 of 167 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £295,000 (+135.6%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £4,887 per square metre, across 1 of the 24 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 £652,500 to £1,475,000. 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.
