Across 2005–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £2,062,000 is 14.1% below the 2022 sale of £2,400,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition.

Past consents include an extension and a basement excavation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 160 m² it's 28.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (224 m² median across 15 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Sold October 2022 for £2,400,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
