Today's modelled estimate of £347,000 is 11% below the 2022 sale of £390,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works.

Past consents include partial demolition, subdivision and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 78 m² it's 20.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (65 m² median across 26 EPCs). Most recent transfer: October 2022 at £390,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Flat 1 is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB5 8HA. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Flat 1. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
