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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chaplin Drive | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector CO4 3 | £300,000 | £258,750 +16% since | £196,500 +53% since | £139,500 +115% since | £149,000 +101% 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 CO4 3, over the last five years (734 sales):
- What sells: 35% semi-detached, 28% terraced, 23% detached, 11% flats, 2% other.
- 12% sold leasehold, and 1% were new builds.
- 141 sales in the last twelve months, against 260 in the same twelve months five years ago.
