Held since March 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 160 m² the property is well over the postcode median (120 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 2007–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -23.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £608,000 sits 76.2% above the 2009 sale of £345,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£200/sq ft) was about 17.8% below the postcode norm.
