This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since July 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 143 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 36 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £298,000 is 29.6% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£149/sq ft) was about 17.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
