How this area has changed

Typical prices for flats, 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
Rectory Close	–	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	Not enough sales
Postcode sector BN3 5	£310,500	£288,000 +8% since	£240,000 +29% since	£173,250 +79% since	£149,950 +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.

Sector BN3 5 Typical price each year, flats. A gap is a year with too few sales.
