Held since June 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. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,005,000 sits 105.5% above the 2007 sale of £489,000. 5 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 172 m² it's 29.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (132 m² median across 12 EPCs).
