About 21 Blake Close

The latest certificate (February 2025) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since.

It hasn't traded since January 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £233,000 sits 66.4% above the 2009 sale of £140,000.
