It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 35 m² it sits well below the postcode median (63 m² across 28 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £99,000 is 48.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£177/sq ft) was about 129.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
