Only 36 sales here are linked to an energy certificate with a floor area, so treat the per m² figures as a rough guide.
Semi-detached houses were the most common type sold here, at 33% of sales, ahead of detached houses at 27%.
The gap between types is wide: detached houses sold for 3.2 times the median for flats, so compare an asking price with the same type of home.
Flats here sold for a median of £110,000, 15% less than the £129,000 typical of the 6 nearest districts with enough flat sales.
