It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 19 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. At 172 m² it's 17.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (146 m² median across 11 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £517,000 is 41.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£197/sq ft) was about 19.5% below the postcode norm.
