Today's modelled estimate of £113,000 is 12.4% below the 2007 sale of £129,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£266/sq ft) was about 32.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in June 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 45 m² it's 20.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (57 m² median across 40 EPCs).
