About Forbury View

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. At 59 m² it's 15.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (51 m² median across 12 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £186,000 is 11% above the 2009 sale price.
