How this area has changed
Typical prices for semi-detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to August 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Downs | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector AL10 8 | – | £395,000 | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | £209,000 |

The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
How homes change hands in AL10 8, over the last five years (616 sales):
- What sells: 54% terraced, 22% flats, 15% semi-detached, 6% detached, 2% other.
- 23% sold leasehold, and 22% were new builds.
- 100 sales in the last twelve months, against 143 in the same twelve months five years ago.
