How this area has changed
Typical prices for semi-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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Merepark Drive | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector PR9 9 | £235,000 | £194,000 +21% since | £155,000 +52% since | £147,500 +59% since | £155,000 +52% 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.
