Held since December 2008 — 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. At 90 m² it's 15.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 25 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £184,000 is 29.1% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£147/sq ft) was about 19.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
