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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Walcot Drive | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector B43 5 | £248,500 | £205,000 +21% since | £150,500 +65% since | £138,325 +80% since | £142,250 +75% 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 B43 5, over the last five years (658 sales):
- What sells: 67% semi-detached, 18% terraced, 6% detached, 6% flats, 4% other.
- 21% sold leasehold.
- 95 sales in the last twelve months, against 183 in the same twelve months five years ago.
