Today's modelled estimate of £120,000 is 14.3% below the 2007 sale of £140,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£361/sq ft) was about 96.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in November 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 36 m² it's 28% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (50 m² median across 39 EPCs).
