Was 2007 a good year to buy?
A home bought at the 2007 median of £175,000 and sold at the latest median of £285,000 gained +62.9% in cash. Restate the 2007 price in 2026 money and it is worth £304,254, so the real gain is -6.3%. The first number is the one people quote; the second is the one that decided whether they were better off.
