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.

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 4, over the last five years (385 sales):
- What sells: 47% semi-detached, 29% detached, 15% terraced, 7% other, 2% flats.
- 56% sold leasehold.
- 76 sales in the last twelve months, against 106 in the same twelve months five years ago.
