Today's modelled estimate of £107,000 is 14.4% below the 2007 sale of £124,950, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£314/sq ft) was about 118.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 37 m² it's 26% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (50 m² median across 35 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs).
