Held since July 2007 — that's 19 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 200 m² the property is well over the postcode median (97 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £554,000 sits 121.6% above the 2007 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£116/sq ft) was about 56.8% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2003.
