How this area has changed
Typical prices for semi-detached houses, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mountbatten Drive | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector CO2 8 | £305,000 | £262,000 +16% since | £210,000 +45% since | £152,000 +101% since | £148,750 +105% 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 CO2 8, over the last five years (1,018 sales):
- What sells: 33% flats, 27% semi-detached, 25% terraced, 13% detached, 3% other.
- 34% sold leasehold.
- 183 sales in the last twelve months, against 307 in the same twelve months five years ago.
