Held since September 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 117 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 81% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £139,000 is 20.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£91/sq ft) was about 17.4% below the postcode norm.
