Held since June 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 106 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 28 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £401,000 sits 301% above the 2007 sale of £100,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£88/sq ft) was about 61.8% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2012.
