Today's modelled estimate of £143,000 is 15.9% below the 2007 sale of £169,950, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 18.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since February 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 77% of similar EPCs).
