Held since February 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Sale prices here have outpaced London HPI: 12.7% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £520,000 sits 67.7% above the 2007 sale of £310,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£720/sq ft) was about 61.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 40 m² it sits well below the postcode median (70 m² across 28 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2004.
