It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 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. At 175 m² the property is well over the postcode median (104 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2007–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £419,000 sits 78.3% above the 2008 sale of £235,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£125/sq ft) was about 34.5% below the postcode norm.
