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 ago	10 years ago	15 years ago	20 years ago
Millbrook Close	–	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	Not enough sales
Postcode sector MK42 6	£348,500	£332,995 +5% since	£288,750 +21% since	£215,000 +62% since	Not enough sales

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 MK42 6 Bedford Typical price each year, semi-detached houses. A gap is a year with too few sales.
