How this area has changed
Typical prices for 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Birchen Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector S18 8 | £436,500 | £382,500 +14% since | £270,000 +62% since | £240,000 +82% since | £234,000 +87% 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 S18 8, over the last five years (444 sales):
- What sells: 51% detached, 38% semi-detached, 6% terraced, 3% flats, 2% other.
- 15% sold leasehold.
- 78 sales in the last twelve months, against 147 in the same twelve months five years ago.
