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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Merefield | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector PR7 1 | £363,500 | £308,997 +18% since | £237,500 +53% since | £225,000 +62% since | £208,250 +75% 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 PR7 1, over the last five years (529 sales):
- What sells: 30% detached, 29% semi-detached, 20% terraced, 11% other, 9% flats.
- 41% sold leasehold.
- 73 sales in the last twelve months, against 126 in the same twelve months five years ago.
