How this area has changed
Typical prices for 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Orchard Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector DA3 7 | £660,000 | £595,000 +11% since | £550,000 +20% since | £392,500 +68% since | £357,499 +85% 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 DA3 7, over the last five years (593 sales):
- What sells: 49% detached, 27% semi-detached, 12% terraced, 10% flats, 2% other.
