Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £116,000 sits 205.3% above the 2009 sale of £38,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£118/sq ft) was about 28.9% below the postcode norm. At 30 m² it sits well below the postcode median (68 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs).
