Held since December 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 46 m² it's 16.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (55 m² median across 50 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £161,000 sits 83% above the 2007 sale of £88,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£178/sq ft) was about 21.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
