How this area has changed
Typical prices for terraced 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chennells Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector SG4 0 | £390,000 | £360,000 +8% since | £310,000 +26% since | £190,000 +105% since | £161,500 +141% 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 SG4 0, over the last five years (816 sales):
- What sells: 31% semi-detached, 31% flats, 21% terraced, 12% detached, 4% other.
- 33% sold leasehold, and 15% were new builds.
- 129 sales in the last twelve months, against 180 in the same twelve months five years ago.
