About 21 Rectory Avenue
21 Rectory Avenue is a semi-detached house in Portsmouth (PO6 1AL). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 869 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C.

Held since August 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 £389,000 is 44.1% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£311/sq ft) was about 39.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
