Held since July 2008 — that's 18 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 89 m² it sits well below the postcode median (171 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £318,000 is 41.3% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£235/sq ft) was about 32.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
