District context: the trend below covers the whole CO5 postcode district, not just School Road.
Median sold price
Sales per year
Year-on-year change in median price
Median sold price, indexed - 1995 = 100
Each point is the year's median divided by the 1995 figure (£65,000), so 200 means double the 1995 value in cash terms. Values are nominal. How we work this out
| Year | Median price | Average (mean) price | Sales | Lowest | Highest | Change on previous year |

Property types in CO5
Each share is that property type's slice of all standard (HM Land Registry category-A) sales in CO5. The price beside it is the mean sale price for that type across all recorded years. The freehold/leasehold split and any new-build figure compare averages weighted by number of sales. Much of a "flat vs house" or leasehold gap is the property type itself, not a premium.90% freehold, 10% leasehold, across all recorded years. Comparing new-build and existing homes type by type (each type weighted by how many sales it has here), new builds sold for around 6% more, across all recorded years. New builds sell mostly in the years they were built, so part of that gap is when they sold, not only that they were new; the detail below compares within each type.
Tenure and new-build detail by type
| Type | Freehold | New-build vs existing |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 100% | -5% for new build |
| Semi-detached | 99% | +31% for new build |
| Terraced | 98% | +18% for new build |
| Flat / Apartment | 2% | about the same |
New-build vs existing compares mean prices within the same type, so it is partly mix-adjusted - but it is not a like-for-like index.

Homes that sold more than once on School RoadEvery address on School Road with two or more recorded standard (HM Land Registry category-A) sales, matched on the exact address so a sale can never be attributed to a neighbouring home. "Change" is the difference between consecutive sales of the same home. "Annualised" is the constant yearly rate that would grow the earlier price into the later one over the time between them (compound), and is only shown when the sales are at least two years apart (closer pairs show how long apart they were). These are historical facts about past sales - they are not an estimate of what any home is worth today.
A home selling twice is the cleanest price comparison the Land Registry data offers - the same bricks, years apart. 6 addresses here have sold more than once.
