Across 2006–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -13.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £103,000 is 10.4% below the 2009 sale of £115,000, 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 (£194/sq ft) was about 18.9% below the postcode norm. Held since March 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.
