Date Paid price Annual growth After inflation May 2020 £350,000 * 5.6% 3.7% Oct 2008 £185,000 13.2% 10.9% Aug 1995 £36,000 na na *This price paid record has been flagged by Land Registry as a 'Category B: Additional Price Paid entry'. This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as the sale being a buy-to-let purchase, a repossession or a transfer to a limited company. When Land Registry suspects that a sale does not reflect full market value (e.g. part-ownership or right to buy), these transactions can be flagged as well. For this reason, we exclude them from our area statistics.
