How this area has changed
Typical prices for semi-detached 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Christopher Drive | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector LE4 9 | £283,750 | £215,000 +32% since | £145,000 +96% since | £117,250 +142% since | £114,360 +148% 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 LE4 9, over the last five years (503 sales):
- What sells: 39% semi-detached, 36% terraced, 12% detached, 8% other, 6% flats.
- 12% sold leasehold.
- 81 sales in the last twelve months, against 125 in the same twelve months five years ago.
