Held since April 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 66 m² it sits well below the postcode median (105 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £267,000 sits 105.4% above the 2007 sale of £130,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£183/sq ft) was about 99.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
