That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 30.4% per year.
