The street in brief

Read Close is a street almost entirely of semi-detached houses. Sales here are sparse and mostly older — the last recorded sale was in 2021, so today's values are best judged from the wider BL9 figures below. On floor area that works out near £1,151 per square metre, below the district's £2,181. Recent sales are too thin to call a trend for the street itself; BL9 prices as a whole have been rising. With 7 sales across 4 homes since 1996, homes here come to market only rarely.

too few recent sales on Read Close for a current comparison — its all-time £97,000 median reflects older prices, against BL9's £177,000 over the last 8 years; on floor space it runs £1,151/m² against the district's £2,181/m² (-47%).

Street and BL9 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.
