Held since January 2007 — that's 20 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 119 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 49 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £308,000 sits 128.1% above the 2007 sale of £135,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£105/sq ft) was about 26.7% below the postcode norm.
