Past sale prices

ONS neighbourhood: Ottershaw & Lyne, year to March 2026. HMLR district figures are used for owner-confirmed districts. Shared districts and unresolved district ownership use the containing ONS neighbourhood until reviewed; combined neighbourhood names remain unchanged. Districts/neighbourhoods are wider than the exact place. Multiple neighbourhood medians are never averaged. At least 10 sales per type are required; too few is not zero. Past sales are not current asking prices, valuations or financial advice; registrations lag. Individual recorded-sale exploration is a separate residential postcode sample, not a competing place median.

Travel

Rail times checked 19 October 2026, National Rail weekday arrival by 09:00. Fastest trains run at particular times. Getting to the station and onward travel are not included. Personal journeys show only matching current viewer-scoped Discover evidence; missing or expired routes stay not yet checked. Yearly fares require explicit frequency and verified fare basis, using 46 working weeks; no season fare estimates are added.

Station-wide history for every train calling at this station in one railway period — not the reliability of your journey or commute, and not live disruption. Time to 3 is the share of recorded stops that arrived within three minutes of schedule. Cancellations are the share of scheduled stops that didn't call. They use different bases, so they don't add up to 100%. ORR marks figures as low quality when fewer than 56 stops were scheduled, and Time to 3 when fewer than half of expected stops were recorded.
