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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Laybrook | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector AL4 9 | £462,750 | £417,750 +11% since | £365,000 +27% since | £244,500 +89% since | £210,000 +120% 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.
How homes change hands in AL4 9, over the last five years (820 sales):
- What sells: 33% semi-detached, 25% terraced, 24% flats, 15% detached, 3% other.
- 25% sold leasehold.
- 122 sales in the last twelve months, against 208 in the same twelve months five years ago.
