How this area has changed
Typical prices for terraced 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Read Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector NG24 3 | £180,000 | £155,000 +16% since | £116,250 +55% since | £119,997 +50% since | £101,000 +78% 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 NG24 3, over the last five years (1,696 sales):
- What sells: 37% detached, 34% semi-detached, 20% terraced, 7% flats, 2% other.
- 8% sold leasehold, and 14% were new builds.
- 271 sales in the last twelve months, against 546 in the same twelve months five years ago.
