Date Paid price Annual growth After inflation Jan 2021 £375,000 * 9.5% 7.8% Aug 2015 £230,000 2.6% 0.4% Jan 2002 £161,500 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.
