Held since May 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. Across 1996–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £564,000 sits 70.4% above the 2008 sale of £331,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£217/sq ft) was about 18.4% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include new windows, an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
