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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brook Lea | – | 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.
