Entry price is not the whole picture
p25 is the price a quarter of recorded sales fall under — a realistic floor, not a guarantee. Two areas can share an entry price and diverge sharply on off-plan share, sales volume and how far that floor sits from the area's own median, all of which are in the table above.
Entry price is not total cost
Transfer fees, agency commission and service charges sit on top of the purchase price. Budget for the difference before treating any figure here as what you will actually spend.
