Held since August 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 116 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 39 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £300,000 sits 69.5% above the 2007 sale of £177,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£142/sq ft) was about 52.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
