Held since July 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 95 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 17.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £279,000 is 43.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£190/sq ft) was about 16.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
