How this area has changed
Typical prices for detached 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eastern Esplanade | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector SS8 7 | £341,500 | £300,000 +14% since | £235,000 +45% since | £162,750 +110% since | £177,000 +93% 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 SS8 7, over the last five years (676 sales):
- What sells: 58% detached, 29% semi-detached, 6% flats, 4% terraced, 4% other.
- 6% sold leasehold.
- 123 sales in the last twelve months, against 211 in the same twelve months five years ago.
