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 324 m² the property is well over the postcode median (121 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £517,000 sits 293.2% above the 2008 sale of £131,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£38/sq ft) was about 77.3% below the postcode norm.
