Across 2004–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £621,000 is 34.6% below the 2021 sale of £950,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look.

At 139 m² the property is well over the postcode median (54 m² across 71 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Most recent transfer: September 2021 at £950,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
