Held since October 2008 — that's 18 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 114 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £214,000 sits 78.3% above the 2008 sale of £120,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£98/sq ft) was about 33.7% below the postcode norm.
