Held since March 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 94 m² it sits well below the postcode median (157 m² across 23 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. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £692,000 is 48.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£460/sq ft) was about 78.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
