Held since August 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. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £293,000 sits 95.3% above the 2007 sale of £150,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£199/sq ft) was about 39.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include a basement excavation and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
