Held since June 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. At 32 m² it sits well below the postcode median (67 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 84% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £230,000 is 33.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£499/sq ft) was about 90.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
