Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 58 m² the property is well over the postcode median (43 m² across 71 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 2005–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -9.2% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£197/sq ft) was about 27.9% below the postcode norm.
