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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Openshaw Drive | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector BB1 8 | £200,000 | £165,000 +21% since | £130,000 +54% since | £131,000 +53% since | £135,000 +48% 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 BB1 8, over the last five years (810 sales):
- What sells: 37% detached, 34% semi-detached, 23% terraced, 4% flats, 2% other.
- 9% sold leasehold, and 31% were new builds.
- 91 sales in the last twelve months, against 237 in the same twelve months five years ago.
