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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Albert Road | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector B21 9 | £185,000 | £152,500 +21% since | £105,750 +75% since | £105,000 +76% since | £105,000 +76% 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 B21 9, over the last five years (312 sales):
- What sells: 75% terraced, 11% semi-detached, 11% other, 2% flats, 2% detached.
- 4% sold leasehold.
- 62 sales in the last twelve months, against 77 in the same twelve months five years ago.
