What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Well Close Square, Whitby 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 31 | 51.7% | £181,000 | £49,950 – £330,000 |
| Semi-detached | 19 | 31.7% | £197,500 | £57,500 – £460,000 |
| Detached | 6 | 10.0% | £180,000 | £38,000 – £450,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Well Close Square, Whitby
1 of the sales on record are leasehold and 59 freehold — 1.7% 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 £151,500 and the median freehold sale £185,000 — a gap of +22.1%. 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 | 1 | 1.7% | £151,500 |
| Freehold | 59 | 98.3% | £185,000 |
A further 7 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 Well Close Square, Whitby compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Well Close Square, Whitby sits above that national figure — +16.2%.
Within Whitby the street ranks 171 of 490 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £159,000 (+15.1%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,935 per square metre, across 9 of the 60 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 £38,000 to £460,000. 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.
