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. Today's modelled estimate of £272,000 sits 119.4% above the 2008 sale of £124,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£92/sq ft) was about 20.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: HMO conversion approved in 2019. Past consents include HMO conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 125 m² it's 22.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (102 m² median across 19 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 84% of similar EPCs).
