Held since March 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 180 m² the property is well over the postcode median (131 m² across 37 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 2005–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at -20% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £299,000 sits 232.2% above the 2008 sale of £90,000.
