Held since March 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £296,000 sits 104.1% above the 2009 sale of £145,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£153/sq ft) was about 26.8% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
