It hasn't traded since March 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. Sale prices here have outpaced Birmingham HPI: 11.9% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £265,000 sits 62.1% above the 2007 sale of £163,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£104/sq ft) was about 25.3% below the postcode norm. At 146 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
