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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Queens Drive | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector WF5 0 | £236,250 | £187,000 +26% since | £164,950 +43% since | £122,500 +93% since | £144,000 +64% 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 WF5 0, over the last five years (556 sales):
- What sells: 48% semi-detached, 29% terraced, 19% detached, 3% other, 2% flats.
- 4% sold leasehold.
- 94 sales in the last twelve months, against 174 in the same twelve months five years ago.
