Held since October 2008 — that's 18 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 72 m² the property is well over the postcode median (35 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.2% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£297/sq ft) was about 135.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
