How this area has changed

Typical prices for flats, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to August 2026 against the same twelve months back then.

Area Now 5 years ago10 years ago15 years ago20 years ago
West Side – Not enough sales Not enough sales Not enough sales Not enough sales
Postcode sector LU7 1 £175,000 £171,250 +2% since £158,000 +11% since £115,000 +52% since £124,975 +40% since
South Bedfordshire – Not enough sales Not enough sales Not enough sales £115,000

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.
