Held since April 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 181 m² the property is well over the postcode median (108 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £378,000 is 35% above the 2007 sale price.
