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 ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rayfield | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector WF2 8 | £195,000 | £180,997 +8% since | £127,500 +53% since | £104,500 +87% since | £121,250 +61% 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 WF2 8, over the last five years (786 sales):
- What sells: 49% semi-detached, 22% terraced, 22% detached, 4% flats, 2% other.
- 6% sold leasehold, and 20% were new builds.
- 94 sales in the last twelve months, against 204 in the same twelve months five years ago.
