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 semi-detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to September 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gibbs Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector AL5 1 | £777,500 | £697,750 +11% since | £561,500 +38% since | £360,975 +115% since | £325,000 +139% 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.
Crime within about 500 metres. Last 12 months vs the 12 months before: 51 vs 67 (-24%)
How homes change hands in AL5 1, over the last five years (489 sales):
- What sells: 32% detached, 27% semi-detached, 22% terraced, 16% flats, 3% other.
- 16% sold leasehold.
- 72 sales in the last twelve months, against 179 in the same twelve months five years ago.
