Held since September 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. At 139 m² the property is well over the postcode median (76 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £213,000 sits 113% above the 2007 sale of £100,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£67/sq ft) was about 17.7% below the postcode norm.
