It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £267,000 sits 50.4% above the 2007 sale of £177,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 23.2% below the postcode norm. At 71 m² it's 29.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (55 m² median across 7 EPCs).
