Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £412,000 sits 54% above the 2007 sale of £267,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£452/sq ft) was about 39.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: new windows refused in 2021.
