Only 20 sales here are linked to an energy certificate with a floor area, so treat the per m² figures as a rough guide.

Detached houses were the most common type sold here, at 38% of sales, ahead of terraced houses at 31%.

The gap between types is wide: detached houses sold for 3.3 times the median for flats, so compare an asking price with the same type of home.

Flats here sold for a median of £151,000, 26% more than the £120,000 typical of the 5 nearest districts with enough flat sales.
