Held since February 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 118 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £405,000 is 42.1% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£224/sq ft) was about 22.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
