The market is characterised by a broad price range, from £200,000 at the lower end to nearly £1.8 million at the top, reflecting considerable diversity in what's available. The median price of £576,250 sits noticeably below the mean of £648,772, indicating that higher-priced properties pull the average upward.
Property Types and Price Differences Detached homes command the highest prices at around £1 million on average, making them roughly 3 times more expensive than flats, which average £343,000. Semi-detached properties occupy the middle ground at £722,000, while terraced homes are the most affordable house type at £583,000. Flats represent the largest category by transaction count at 2,201 sales, followed closely by terraced properties with 2,733 sales.
Price Trends Over Time The past five years have delivered an overall uplift of 13.8%, though the trajectory has been uneven. Prices climbed steadily from 2021 to 2022, then plateaued through 2023 and 2024 before dipping in 2025, before recovering to £689,945 in the most recent year. Current prices remain above the five-year mean, suggesting resilience despite recent volatility.
What Stands Out The gap between detached and semi-detached homes is particularly striking—detached properties command roughly £295,000 more on average. The sheer spread of recent sales prices, from £200,000 to £1.8 million, underscores how varied the market is, with affordable flats coexisting alongside premium country-style homes.
