Held since March 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 40 m² it's 23.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (52 m² median across 16 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.7% per year.
