Held since March 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £510,000 sits 104% above the 2007 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£314/sq ft) was about 39.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 6 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include change of use to residential, an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
