About 23 Cleveland Road

Across 1997–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £218,000 is 32.9% below the 2021 sale of £325,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£419/sq ft) was about 162.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £325,000 in February 2021. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 72 m² it's 17.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (87 m² median across 21 EPCs).
