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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Downside | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector PO38 1 | £473,397 | £487,500 -3% since | £350,000 +35% since | £320,000 +48% since | £290,000 +63% 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 PO38 1, over the last five years (612 sales):
- What sells: 32% flats, 26% detached, 18% terraced, 16% semi-detached, 8% other.
- 43% sold leasehold.
- 103 sales in the last twelve months, against 247 in the same twelve months five years ago.
