About 21 Blake Close

It hasn't traded since January 2009, a hold of 18 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 £234,000 sits 67.1% above the 2009 sale of £140,000.
