About 12 Founder Close

Today's modelled estimate of £248,000 is 13.9% below the 2021 sale of £288,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition.

At 111 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 78% of similar EPCs). Sold June 2021 for £288,000.
