Held since July 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. At 92 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £213,000 sits 77.5% above the 2009 sale of £120,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£121/sq ft) was about 32.5% below the postcode norm.
