Today's modelled estimate of £488,000 is 61% below the 2022 sale of £1,250,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£795/sq ft) was about 464% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 146 m² the property is well over the postcode median (79 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). 6 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 3 refused. Most recent transfer: December 2022 at £1,250,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
