Held since June 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 £126,000 sits 57.5% above the 2007 sale of £80,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£212/sq ft) was about 257.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 35 m² it sits well below the postcode median (71 m² across 33 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs).
