Held since October 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. At 89 m² the property is well over the postcode median (55 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 28% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £219,000 sits 59.3% above the 2007 sale of £137,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£144/sq ft) was about 56.7% below the postcode norm.
