Oakham detached sales by price band, the three years to August 2026

Price band	Sales
Under £300,000	27
£300,000 to £399,999	103
£400,000 to £499,999	64
£500,000 to £749,999	76
£750,000 and above	17
All detached	287

The bands are uneven. The biggest group sits just above £300,000, and a second, nearly as large, sits between £500,000 and £750,000. A single median describes neither well.

If you own a detached home in Oakham, work out which group yours belongs to first. Size, plot and position decide that more than the word detached.

Where in Oakham do detached homes sell?

Greenwood Street had 31 detached sales, far more than any other street. Braunston Road had 10 and Tyne Road seven.

A run of sales on one street gives the cleanest comparison. Elsewhere, detached sales are scattered, one or two a street, so comparisons need more care.

Almost all of these sales carry an LE15 6 postcode, the sector covering the town itself.

How does Oakham compare with Uppingham and Rutland?

Uppingham's 107 detached sales had a median of £420,000. Across Rutland, including the villages, 906 detached sales had a median of £475,000.

So a detached home in Oakham town is often the lower-priced route into a detached house in the county. The comparison is between different homes, not the same home in different places.

Did detached prices move between 2024 and 2025?

In calendar 2024, 107 Oakham detached homes sold at a median of £430,000. In 2025, 101 sold at a median of £415,000.

That gap is small for a group this size, and the homes sold each year differ. It is history, not a direction.

Past price changes do not tell you what will happen next.

What does buying one cost in stamp duty?

At the Oakham detached median of £411,950, a home mover pays £10,597 in stamp duty, as HMRC's stamp duty calculator gives it, checked 3 November 2026. Status: In force from 1 April 2025.

That is nothing on the first £125,000, £2,500 on the next £125,000, and 5% on the remaining £161,950. HMRC rounds the total down to the pound.

A first-time buyer at the same price would pay £5,597, because they pay nothing on the first £300,000. A buyer who will own another home would pay £31,195.

Tax depends on your circumstances. HMRC's guidance is linked below; an accountant or tax adviser can apply it to you.

What should a buyer of a detached Oakham home check?

• Which price group the house belongs to, judged on size and plot, not the label.
• Recent sales on the same street, where there are any: Greenwood Street has the most.
• Whether it sits in the Oakham conservation area, which covers part of the town.
