Held since February 2008 — 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 113 m² it's 19.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (95 m² median across 12 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £140,000 is 27.3% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£90/sq ft) was about 39% below the postcode norm.
