It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 20 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. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £278,000 sits 50.3% above the 2007 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£264/sq ft) was about 18.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: new windows approved in 2007. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs).
