Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in September 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 118 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 19 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 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £405,000 sits 68.8% above the 2007 sale of £240,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£188/sq ft) was about 15.7% below the postcode norm.
