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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| William Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector CO7 9 | £298,500 | £292,000 +2% since | £220,000 +36% since | £192,500 +55% since | £171,250 +74% 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 CO7 9, over the last five years (636 sales):
- What sells: 35% semi-detached, 32% detached, 20% terraced, 9% flats, 3% other.
- 10% sold leasehold, and 2% were new builds.
- 112 sales in the last twelve months, against 195 in the same twelve months five years ago.
