It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £152,000 sits 53.5% above the 2007 sale of £99,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£88/sq ft) was about 31.6% below the postcode norm. At 104 m² it's 18.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (88 m² median across 18 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs).
