It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 89 m² the property is well over the postcode median (61 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £128,000 sits 88.2% above the 2009 sale of £68,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£71/sq ft) was about 34.7% below the postcode norm.
