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 151 m² the property is well over the postcode median (99 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £475,000 is 46.2% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£200/sq ft) was about 16.7% below the postcode norm.
