That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 210 m² the property is well over the postcode median (103 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £677,000 sits 55.6% above the 2007 sale of £435,000.
