Across 2010–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £526,000 is 15.8% below the 2022 sale of £625,000, 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 (£392/sq ft) was about 51.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 148 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 73% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Sold May 2022 for £625,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
