Held since December 2009 — that's 16 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 92 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 29 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. Across 2003–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 0.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £139,000 sits 69.5% above the 2009 sale of £82,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£82/sq ft) was about 23.4% below the postcode norm.
