How this area has changed
Typical prices for flats, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Barcro Square | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector CO1 1 | £155,000 | £165,250 -6% since | £147,250 +5% since | £107,495 +44% since | £121,500 +28% 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 CO1 1, over the last five years (838 sales):
- What sells: 46% flats, 24% terraced, 12% other, 12% semi-detached, 5% detached.
- 49% sold leasehold, and 22% were new builds.
- 107 sales in the last twelve months, against 208 in the same twelve months five years ago.
