Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 112 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 29 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 90% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £231,000 sits 84.8% above the 2009 sale of £125,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£104/sq ft) was about 40.6% below the postcode norm.
