Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 17.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £259,000 is 13.7% below the 2009 sale of £300,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£988/sq ft) was about 1192.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 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. At 28 m² it sits well below the postcode median (58 m² across 30 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
