It hasn't traded since May 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 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £151,000 sits 58.9% above the 2007 sale of £95,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).
