Today's modelled estimate of £228,000 is 15.6% below the 2007 sale of £270,000, 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 (£458/sq ft) was about 232.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in July 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 55 m² it's 15% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (65 m² median across 36 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement.
