Date Paid price Annual growth After inflation Jul 2022 £80,000 * 5.0% 2.6% Nov 2012 £50,000 1.8% -0.5% Oct 2000 £40,500 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.
