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. Across 2001–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £617,000 sits 51.6% above the 2008 sale of £407,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£350/sq ft) was about 38.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 108 m² it's 21.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (89 m² median across 19 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs).
