How this area has changed
Typical prices for flats, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Discovery Road | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector PL1 4 | £149,000 | £131,000 +14% since | £126,000 +18% since | £112,000 +33% since | £93,100 +60% 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 PL1 4, over the last five years (632 sales):
- What sells: 65% flats, 27% terraced, 4% other, 3% semi-detached.
- 69% sold leasehold, and 13% were new builds.
- 111 sales in the last twelve months, against 131 in the same twelve months five years ago.
