Held since August 2007 — that's 19 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 72 m² the property is well over the postcode median (53 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £481,000 sits 100.5% above the 2007 sale of £239,950.
