Held since April 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. At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (57 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £230,000 sits 56.5% above the 2007 sale of £147,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£359/sq ft) was about 36.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
