Date Paid price Annual growth After inflation May 2021 £98,000 * 4.9% 2.9% Oct 2001 £38,000 15.7% 14.0% Jun 1998 £23,400 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.
