Held since September 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. Sale prices here have outpaced England HPI: 5.7% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £260,000 is 13% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£689/sq ft) was about 208.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 31 m² it sits well below the postcode median (80 m² across 28 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2007.
