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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Downside Drive | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector LE65 2 | £415,000 | £349,724 +19% since | £294,975 +41% since | £230,000 +80% since | £195,000 +113% 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 LE65 2, over the last five years (980 sales):
- What sells: 42% detached, 26% semi-detached, 19% terraced, 9% flats, 4% other.
- 11% sold leasehold, and 21% were new builds.
- 149 sales in the last twelve months, against 356 in the same twelve months five years ago.
