How this area has changed

Postcode sector TQ3 2 £137,500 £136,000 +1% since £126,250 +9% since £107,000 +29% since £120,000 +15% 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.
