Held since October 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. Sale prices here have outpaced Birmingham HPI: 12% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £242,000 sits 72.9% above the 2007 sale of £140,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£145/sq ft) was about 31.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
