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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ames Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector LU3 4 | £430,000 | £405,000 +6% since | £360,000 +19% since | £249,997 +72% since | £245,000 +76% 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 LU3 4, over the last five years (422 sales):
- What sells: 37% detached, 31% terraced, 19% semi-detached, 11% flats, 2% other.
- 15% sold leasehold.
- 66 sales in the last twelve months, against 121 in the same twelve months five years ago.
