Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 364 m² the property is well over the postcode median (240 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 81% of similar EPCs). Across 2003–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,944,000 sits 83.4% above the 2009 sale of £1,060,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£271/sq ft) was about 37.5% below the postcode norm.
