Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in April 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 168 m² the property is well over the postcode median (106 m² across 5 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 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £641,000 sits 87.2% above the 2007 sale of £342,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£189/sq ft) was about 34.8% below the postcode norm.
