Held since May 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 49 m² it's 16.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (42 m² median across 19 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £112,000 is 35.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£156/sq ft) was about 39.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
