Held since July 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. Today's modelled estimate of £109,000 sits 89.6% above the 2009 sale of £57,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£109/sq ft) was about 27.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).
