Held since June 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. Today's modelled estimate of £316,000 sits 58% above the 2007 sale of £200,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£206/sq ft) was about 23.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs).
