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 155 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 48 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £519,000 sits 107.6% above the 2007 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£150/sq ft) was about 45.7% below the postcode norm.
