How this area has changed
Typical prices for semi-detached 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tower Road | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector BB2 5 | £220,000 | £172,500 +28% since | £130,750 +68% since | £139,500 +58% since | £135,000 +63% since |
| Blackburn | – | Not enough sales | 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.
