How this area has changed
Typical prices for flats, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alpha Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector B12 9 | – | £157,500 | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |

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.
