Held since December 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 81 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £123,000 sits 64% above the 2009 sale of £75,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£86/sq ft) was about 139.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
