Held since November 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 81 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £124,000 is 45.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£97/sq ft) was about 16.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
