Today's modelled estimate of £115,000 is 28.1% below the 2007 sale of £159,950, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. Held since June 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs).
