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. At 106 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 35 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £582,000 sits 177.1% above the 2007 sale of £210,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£184/sq ft) was about 24.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
