Held since July 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 75 m² the property is well over the postcode median (57 m² across 11 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 16% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £393,000 sits 59.1% above the 2007 sale of £247,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£306/sq ft) was about 44.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2003.
