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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Raphael Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector WD7 9 | £835,000 | £800,000 +4% since | £682,500 +22% since | £480,000 +74% since | £395,000 +111% 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 WD7 9, over the last five years (346 sales):
- What sells: 39% detached, 27% semi-detached, 25% terraced, 5% flats, 4% other.
- 5% sold leasehold, and 23% were new builds.
- 50 sales in the last twelve months, against 130 in the same twelve months five years ago.
