It hasn't traded since April 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 99 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 20% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £299,000 sits 99.3% above the 2007 sale of £150,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£141/sq ft) was about 30.6% below the postcode norm.
