Across 1998–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £192,000 is 57.3% below the 2022 sale of £450,000, 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 (£921/sq ft) was about 1556.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (119 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Most recent transfer: August 2022 at £450,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
