How this area has changed
Typical prices for terraced 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bishop Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector CT9 4 | £265,000 | £235,000 +13% since | £174,750 +52% since | £119,995 +121% since | £129,475 +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 CT9 4, over the last five years (525 sales):
- What sells: 34% terraced, 29% flats, 24% semi-detached, 8% detached, 5% other.
- 31% sold leasehold, and 24% were new builds.
- 84 sales in the last twelve months, against 144 in the same twelve months five years ago.
