Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in May 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £135,000 sits 68.8% above the 2007 sale of £80,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£169/sq ft) was about 27% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
