Held since December 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 176 m² the property is well over the postcode median (101 m² across 45 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 142.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £338,000 sits 55% above the 2007 sale of £218,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£115/sq ft) was about 20.7% below the postcode norm.
