How this area has changed

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 6, over the last five years (1,719 sales):
- What sells: 33% detached, 25% semi-detached, 21% flats, 20% terraced, 1% other.
- 21% sold leasehold, and 34% were new builds.
- 221 sales in the last twelve months, against 414 in the same twelve months five years ago.
