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.

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.
