How this area has changed
Typical prices for detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to September 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| First Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector M46 0 | £359,500 | £270,000 +33% since | £206,000 +75% since | £193,250 +86% since | £209,475 +72% 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 M46 0, over the last five years (1,209 sales):
- What sells: 42% terraced, 25% semi-detached, 15% detached, 12% flats, 6% other.
- 65% sold leasehold, and 7% were new builds.
- 180 sales in the last twelve months, against 326 in the same twelve months five years ago.
