Held since December 2007 — 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 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £475,000 sits 90% above the 2007 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£223/sq ft) was about 47.3% below the postcode norm. At 104 m² it's 16.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (90 m² median across 6 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).
