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 £276,000 sits 87.8% above the 2008 sale of £147,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£133/sq ft) was about 18.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: HMO conversion approved in 2018. Past consents include HMO conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
