The street in brief

Sales on Essex Close are mostly detached houses. Sales here are sparse and mostly older — the last recorded sale was in 2016, so today's values are best judged from the wider OL2 figures below. Recent sales are too thin to call a trend for the street itself; OL2 prices as a whole have been rising. HM Land Registry records 6 sales across 3 homes since 1997 — homes here come up rarely.

too few recent sales on Essex Close for a current comparison — its all-time £176,500 median reflects older prices, against OL2's £180,000 over the last 8 years.

Street and OL2 figures are medians of HM Land Registry sales; the England figures are the UK House Price Index mix-adjusted average — a different basis, so compare direction rather than levels between the two.
