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 M29 7 | £249,500 | £190,000 +31% since | £144,000 +73% since | £122,625 +103% since | £125,000 +100% 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 M29 7, over the last five years (920 sales):
- What sells: 50% semi-detached, 25% detached, 17% terraced, 6% other, 3% flats.
- 65% sold leasehold.
- 160 sales in the last twelve months, against 298 in the same twelve months five years ago.
