It hasn't traded since May 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. At 169 m² the property is well over the postcode median (113 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £510,000 is 20% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£234/sq ft) was about 22% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
