Held since October 2008 — that's 18 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 2006–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £294,000 is 36.7% above the 2008 sale price.
