How this area has changed
Typical prices for terraced houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to September 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Townsend Gate | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector HP4 2 | £545,000 | £482,500 +13% since | £423,000 +29% since | £275,000 +98% since | £235,725 +131% 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 HP4 2, over the last five years (691 sales):
- What sells: 33% terraced, 25% flats, 23% detached, 16% semi-detached, 2% other.
- 28% sold leasehold.
- 115 sales in the last twelve months, against 214 in the same twelve months five years ago.
