Held since February 2007 — that's 20 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 178 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 34 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £578,000 sits 60.6% above the 2007 sale of £360,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£188/sq ft) was about 27.2% below the postcode norm.
