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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Highfields Road | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector CM8 1 | £377,500 | £331,500 +14% since | £284,995 +32% since | £189,975 +99% since | £180,000 +110% 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 CM8 1, over the last five years (1,516 sales):
- What sells: 32% terraced, 28% flats, 19% detached, 19% semi-detached, 2% other.
- 28% sold leasehold, and 16% were new builds.
- 237 sales in the last twelve months, against 445 in the same twelve months five years ago.
