Held since October 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. Today's modelled estimate of £521,000 sits 357% above the 2007 sale of £114,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£114/sq ft) was about 63.2% below the postcode norm. At 93 m² it sits well below the postcode median (257 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 81% of similar EPCs).
