Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at -6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £333,000 is 17.8% below the 2007 sale of £405,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£579/sq ft) was about 276.8% 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 65 m² it sits well below the postcode median (103 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 73% of similar EPCs).
