How this area has changed

Typical prices for semi-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 ago10 years ago15 years ago20 years ago
Adelaide Square – Not enough sales Not enough sales Not enough sales Not enough sales
Postcode sector MK40 2 – £447,500 Not enough sales £328,000 £271,500
Bedford £345,000 £298,000 +16% since £248,000 +39% since £182,500 +89% since £172,250 +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.
