Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 51.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £139,000 is 15.8% below the 2007 sale of £165,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£160/sq ft) was about 363% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 96 m² the property is well over the postcode median (57 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused.
