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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Link Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector CO4 5 | £348,750 | £296,000 +18% since | £248,997 +40% since | £209,995 +66% since | £187,500 +86% 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 5, over the last five years (1,289 sales):
- What sells: 25% detached, 25% semi-detached, 23% terraced, 23% flats, 3% other.
- 23% sold leasehold, and 1% were new builds.
- 212 sales in the last twelve months, against 397 in the same twelve months five years ago.
