Held since March 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £105,000 sits 162.5% above the 2009 sale of £40,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£79/sq ft) was about 45.8% below the postcode norm. At 47 m² it sits well below the postcode median (75 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
