It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 60 m² the property is well over the postcode median (44 m² across 33 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £299,000 sits 51.4% above the 2007 sale of £197,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£306/sq ft) was about 69.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
