Held since February 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 100 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). 2 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £226,000 sits 201.3% above the 2007 sale of £75,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£70/sq ft) was about 50.3% below the postcode norm.
