How this area has changed
Typical prices for terraced 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| August End | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector RG30 2 | £335,000 | £280,000 +20% since | £275,000 +22% since | £170,000 +97% since | £162,000 +107% 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 RG30 2, over the last five years (1,201 sales):
- What sells: 42% terraced, 38% flats, 13% semi-detached, 5% detached, 2% other.
- 39% sold leasehold, and 1% were new builds.
- 195 sales in the last twelve months, against 308 in the same twelve months five years ago.
