Held since September 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. At 152 m² the property is well over the postcode median (100 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include solar panel installation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £870,000 is 35.9% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£391/sq ft) was about 22.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
