How this area has changed
Typical prices for detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to August 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ailsa Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector PR3 5 | £380,000 | £344,950 +10% since | £295,000 +29% since | £294,975 +29% since | £274,000 +39% 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 PR3 5, over the last five years (955 sales):
- What sells: 63% detached, 22% semi-detached, 14% terraced, 2% other, 1% flats.
- 3% sold leasehold, and 62% were new builds.
- 118 sales in the last twelve months, against 153 in the same twelve months five years ago.
