How this area has changed
Typical prices for 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hardy Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector BL5 3 | £345,000 | £295,000 +17% since | £210,000 +64% since | £196,250 +76% since | £203,407 +70% 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 BL5 3, over the last five years (1,845 sales):
- What sells: 32% terraced, 28% detached, 28% semi-detached, 8% flats, 4% other.
- 40% sold leasehold, and 34% were new builds.
- 217 sales in the last twelve months, against 446 in the same twelve months five years ago.
