It hasn't traded since February 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £342,000 sits 80% above the 2009 sale of £190,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£227/sq ft) was about 81.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs).
