Held since November 2007 — that's 18 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: 7% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £202,000 is 39.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£160/sq ft) was about 53.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 84 m² it's 29.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (119 m² median across 24 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement.
