Across 2000–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £460,000 is 28.1% below the 2022 sale of £640,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£814/sq ft) was about 148% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: July 2022 at £640,000.
