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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| May Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector SN2 1 | £237,000 | £183,500 +29% since | £155,000 +53% since | £112,000 +112% since | £119,747 +98% since |
| Thamesdown | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
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 SN2 1, over the last five years (868 sales):
- What sells: 47% terraced, 36% semi-detached, 8% flats, 5% detached, 4% other.
- 17% sold leasehold.
- 123 sales in the last twelve months, against 192 in the same twelve months five years ago.
