Date Paid price Annual growth After inflation Jun 2022 £36,500 * -4.9% -7.2% Mar 2007 £78,000 35.8% 33.1% Oct 2003 £26,750 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.
