Held since December 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. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 89% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £370,000 is 13.2% above the 2007 sale price.
