Held since May 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 145 m² the property is well over the postcode median (43 m² across 49 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £180,000 is 24.1% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£93/sq ft) was about 15.5% below the postcode norm.
