How Borough Avenue, Wallingford prices moved
The chart tracks the median Borough Avenue, Wallingford house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2018. 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 | £53,500 | £118,795 |
| 2000s | 3 | £115,000 | £209,496 |
| 2010s | 1 | £200,000 | £282,000 |
The highest yearly median on record for Borough Avenue, Wallingford is £200,000 in 2018; the lowest is £53,500 in 1997. Across the full 22-year record the cash median has moved from £53,500 to £200,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £113,436, so the real change over the whole record is +135.0% — about +4.15% 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: +50.4% in cash against +10.0% 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.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Borough Avenue, Wallingford 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat or maisonette | 60 | 77.9% | £122,500 | £43,500 – £229,950 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Borough Avenue, Wallingford
64 of the sales on record are leasehold and 13 freehold — 83.1% 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 £122,500 and the median freehold sale £175,000 — a gap of +42.9%. 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 | 64 | 83.1% | £122,500 |
| Freehold | 13 | 16.9% | £175,000 |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in South Oxfordshire at £1,384 a month as of Jun 2026 — £1,028 for a one-bedroom home and £1,592 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £125,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 13.29% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of OX10, 47 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 22 violent, 0 burglary, 0 vehicle-related and 5 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 3.6 times quieter.
Against the 149,085 residents the 2021 census counted in South Oxfordshire, that is 0.32 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

Borough Avenue, Wallingford sits in South Oxfordshire, in the South East.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in South Oxfordshire at 10.0 times median local earnings of £44,822 a year, measured to Sep 2025.

The latest sale shown here completed on 17 Feb 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.
