Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in March 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £310,000 sits 67.6% above the 2007 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£179/sq ft) was about 29.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2007. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs).
