How this area has changed
Typical prices for flats, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Downs | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector CT11 0 | – | £190,000 | £127,000 | £110,000 | £123,500 |

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 CT11 0, over the last five years (683 sales):
- What sells: 35% semi-detached, 28% terraced, 22% detached, 11% flats, 3% other.
- 10% sold leasehold, and 1% were new builds.
- 129 sales in the last twelve months, against 203 in the same twelve months five years ago.
