Held since January 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 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £748,000 sits 95.6% above the 2007 sale of £382,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£265/sq ft) was about 31.4% below the postcode norm. At 134 m² it's 18.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (113 m² median across 15 EPCs).
