The street in brief

The Backs is a street almost entirely of flats, and every recorded sale is in one building, Media House. Homes here typically change hands around £199,950 — roughly 53% below the HP5 norm. Recent sales are too thin to call a trend for the street itself; HP5 prices as a whole have been rising. HM Land Registry records 19 sales across 15 homes since 2016.
