Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in October 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 127 m² the property is well over the postcode median (85 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £146,000 is 32.7% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£80/sq ft) was about 34.8% below the postcode norm.
