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. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £453,000 sits 57.8% above the 2007 sale of £287,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£508/sq ft) was about 75.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (94 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, partial demolition and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
