Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Drake Road, Wells 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 | 33 | 61.1% | £288,000 | £93,000 – £530,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Drake Road, Wells
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 54 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 | 54 | 100.0% | £228,000 |
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
How Drake Road, Wells compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Drake Road, Wells sits above that national figure — +44.8%.
Within Wells the street ranks 158 of 345 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £195,000 (+16.9%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £3,462 per square metre, across 4 of the 54 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 £38,500 to £530,000. 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.
