It hasn't traded since December 2008, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £178,000 is 22.8% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£116/sq ft) was about 60.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
