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 ago10 years ago15 years ago20 years ago
Locks Close – Not enough sales Not enough sales Not enough sales Not enough sales
Postcode sector TQ1 3 – £292,000 £251,750 £182,500 £222,000
Torbay £270,000 £245,000 +10% since £192,750 +40% since £170,000 +59% since £169,950 +59% 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.
