How Wells Road, Wells-next-the-sea prices moved
The chart tracks the median Wells Road, Wells-next-the-sea house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2021. 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 | 3 | £87,000 | £193,181 |
| 2000s | 2 | £115,000 | £209,496 |
| 2010s | 4 | £326,500 | £460,365 |
| 2020s | 1 | £375,000 | £383,152 |
The highest yearly median on record for Wells Road, Wells-next-the-sea is £375,000 in 2021; the lowest is £61,950 in 1996. Across the full 26-year record the cash median has moved from £61,950 to £375,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £134,384, so the real change over the whole record is +252.6% — about +5.17% 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: +53.1% in cash against +26.2% 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. Wells Road, Wells-next-the-sea is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Wells Road, Wells-next-the-sea
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 109 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 | 109 | 100.0% | £230,000 |
A further 10 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 Wells Road, Wells-next-the-sea compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Wells Road, Wells-next-the-sea sits above that national figure — +46.0%.
Within Wells-next-the-sea the street ranks 39 of 79 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £249,000 (-7.6%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £4,716 per square metre, across 6 of the 109 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
