Held since July 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 130 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £441,000 sits 57.5% above the 2007 sale of £280,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£200/sq ft) was about 27.6% below the postcode norm.
