About 136 Shear Brow

The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 179 m² the property is well over the postcode median (113 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £190,000 is 31% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£75/sq ft) was about 60.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
