Held since December 2009 — that's 16 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 £290,000 sits 81.3% above the 2009 sale of £160,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£139/sq ft) was about 43.1% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 107 m² it's 29.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (83 m² median across 13 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs).
