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 97 m² the property is well over the postcode median (57 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £299,000 sits 81.2% above the 2008 sale of £165,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£158/sq ft) was about 34.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
