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 ago	10 years ago	15 years ago	20 years ago
Scotforth Close	–	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	Not enough sales
Postcode sector M15 5	£170,000	£144,000 +18% since	£118,000 +44% since	£105,000 +62% since	£120,000 +42% 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.

Sector M15 5 Manchester Typical price each year, flats. A gap is a year with too few sales.
