Today's modelled estimate of £245,000 is 19.7% below the 2007 sale of £305,000, 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 (£337/sq ft) was about 23.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 84 m² it's 16.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (72 m² median across 74 EPCs).
