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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector SS7 1 | £401,750 | £380,000 +6% since | £294,000 +37% since | £195,000 +106% since | £200,000 +101% 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 SS7 1, over the last five years (781 sales):
- What sells: 44% detached, 30% semi-detached, 18% flats, 5% terraced, 3% other.
- 18% sold leasehold, and 6% were new builds.
- 129 sales in the last twelve months, against 258 in the same twelve months five years ago.
