Held since January 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. Today's modelled estimate of £309,000 sits 54.5% above the 2007 sale of £200,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£210/sq ft) was about 25.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 88 m² it's 27.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (70 m² median across 26 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs).
