A part-year and a small mix shift (say, more flats sold this year) can move a median without any change in what homes are worth, so treat year-to-year differences with care.

New builds and leasehold

0% of CM5 sales were new builds and 16.7% were leasehold. Most sales here were freehold, which usually means houses.

Repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio sales and other non-standard transfers are excluded. A district median is not a valuation of any home. How Boroughly sources data.
