Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 76 m² the property is well over the postcode median (55 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £259,000 sits 69.3% above the 2009 sale of £153,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£187/sq ft) was about 19.1% below the postcode norm.
