Move or zoom the map to change what is listed below. Dots show the middle of a postcode, not a front door, and a sale counts as on the map by that middle — so one near the edge may fall either side of it.
Nothing on the map was bought and sold on again. Move the map, or zoom out a little.
A gap between two sale prices does not prove work was done, and a planning application near a sale does not prove the two are connected. Map OpenFreeMap © OpenMapTiles, data from OpenStreetMap.

How this area has changed
Typical prices for terraced 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Down Edge | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector AL3 7 | £460,000 | £417,000 +10% since | £375,500 +23% since | £270,000 +70% since | £236,000 +95% since |

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.
