About Ash Court

Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £231,000 sits 84.8% above the 2009 sale of £125,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs).
