It hasn't traded since February 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. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £351,000 sits 63.3% above the 2007 sale of £215,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£434/sq ft) was about 30% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs).
