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.

Sector WN8 0 West Lancashire Typical price each year, homes of every kind. A gap is a year with too few sales.
