How this area has changed
Typical prices for semi-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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Postcode sector LU1 5 | £330,000 | £280,000 +18% since | £235,000 +40% since | £150,000 +120% since | £147,000 +124% 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 LU1 5, over the last five years (697 sales):
- What sells: 35% terraced, 31% semi-detached, 20% flats, 13% other, 1% detached.
- 31% sold leasehold.
- 128 sales in the last twelve months, against 150 in the same twelve months five years ago.
