It hasn't traded since July 2008, a hold of 18 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. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused, 1 pending. Past consents include an extension and HMO conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. An active application for HMO conversion is awaiting a decision. Today's modelled estimate of £381,000 sits 107.1% above the 2008 sale of £184,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£188/sq ft) was about 36.9% below the postcode norm. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
