How this area has changed
Typical prices for semi-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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Howard Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector BN27 2 | £290,000 | £268,000 +8% since | £233,950 +24% since | Not enough sales | £147,500 +97% 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 BN27 2, over the last five years (486 sales):
- What sells: 32% terraced, 26% semi-detached, 22% detached, 13% flats, 7% other.
- 15% sold leasehold, and 16% were new builds.
- 73 sales in the last twelve months, against 156 in the same twelve months five years ago.
