It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 66 m² it sits well below the postcode median (95 m² across 30 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £348,000 is 45% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£338/sq ft) was about 60.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
