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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fairacres | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector BL2 3 | £262,500 | £202,000 +30% since | £152,225 +72% since | £130,000 +102% since | £146,500 +79% 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 BL2 3, over the last five years (760 sales):
- What sells: 34% semi-detached, 29% terraced, 27% detached, 5% flats, 5% other.
- 74% sold leasehold.
- 134 sales in the last twelve months, against 184 in the same twelve months five years ago.
