Today's modelled estimate of £105,000 is 22.2% below the 2008 sale of £135,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in April 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).
