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.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Highgate Road | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector RG5 3 | £450,000 | £380,000 +18% since | £349,950 +29% since | £240,000 +88% since | £212,950 +111% 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 RG5 3, over the last five years (719 sales):
- What sells: 38% semi-detached, 25% terraced, 20% detached, 14% flats, 3% other.
- 15% sold leasehold.
- 109 sales in the last twelve months, against 214 in the same twelve months five years ago.
