Held since January 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £378,000 sits 75.8% above the 2007 sale of £215,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£266/sq ft) was about 35.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 75 m² it's 25.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (101 m² median across 11 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs).
Recommended upgrades on file would lift this property by multiple EPC bands.
