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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Drive | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector CM1 4 | £527,500 | £560,000 -6% since | £479,997 +10% since | £305,000 +73% since | £292,000 +81% 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 CM1 4, over the last five years (876 sales):
- What sells: 35% semi-detached, 32% detached, 17% terraced, 14% flats, 2% other.
- 15% sold leasehold, and 8% were new builds.
- 162 sales in the last twelve months, against 299 in the same twelve months five years ago.
