Held since October 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 90 m² the property is well over the postcode median (67 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £149,000 sits 75.3% above the 2007 sale of £85,000.
