That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £679,000 sits 82.3% above the 2007 sale of £372,500. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused.
