Today's modelled estimate of £212,000 is 15.2% below the 2007 sale of £250,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£447/sq ft) was about 420.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since January 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 52 m² it's 21.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (66 m² median across 89 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 88% of similar EPCs).
