Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 81% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £525,000 sits 126.3% above the 2009 sale of £232,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£198/sq ft) was about 53.6% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused.
