How this area has changed
Typical prices for terraced 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elder Drive | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector BL3 1 | £165,500 | £119,000 +39% since | £82,500 +101% since | £77,000 +115% since | £80,000 +107% 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 BL3 1, over the last five years (791 sales):
- What sells: 49% semi-detached, 26% terraced, 11% detached, 8% flats, 6% other.
- 72% sold leasehold.
- 150 sales in the last twelve months, against 212 in the same twelve months five years ago.
