How this area has changed

Typical prices for semi-detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to August 2026 against the same twelve months back then.

Postcode sector PR2 9 £219,950 £180,000 +22% since £168,000 +31% since £155,000 +42% since £152,500 +44% 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.
