It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £605,000 is 39.1% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£539/sq ft) was about 45.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2013.
