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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cherry Drive | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector SG8 7 | £410,000 | £377,500 +9% since | £313,000 +31% since | £222,000 +85% since | £205,000 +100% 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 SG8 7, over the last five years (756 sales):
- What sells: 33% detached, 31% semi-detached, 20% terraced, 13% flats, 3% other.
- 14% sold leasehold, and 11% were new builds.
- 108 sales in the last twelve months, against 195 in the same twelve months five years ago.
