Held since December 2007 — that's 18 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 124 m² the property is well over the postcode median (93 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £202,000 is 22.4% above the 2007 sale price.
