How this area has changed
Typical prices for semi-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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Skipper Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector WA12 9 | £222,250 | £184,950 +20% since | £125,250 +77% since | £114,000 +95% since | £119,950 +85% 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 WA12 9, over the last five years (1,002 sales):
- What sells: 43% terraced, 32% semi-detached, 14% detached, 6% other, 5% flats.
- 53% sold leasehold.
- 171 sales in the last twelve months, against 302 in the same twelve months five years ago.
