Held since May 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 117 m² it sits well below the postcode median (172 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £493,000 sits 51.5% above the 2007 sale of £325,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£259/sq ft) was about 26.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
