Today's modelled estimate of £109,000 is 18% below the 2007 sale of £133,000, 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 (£193/sq ft) was about 34.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 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. At 64 m² it's 20% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (80 m² median across 32 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode.
