Held since November 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 45 m² it's 27.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (62 m² median across 49 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£215/sq ft) was about 33.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
