It hasn't traded since September 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. At 68 m² the property is well over the postcode median (44 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2006–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at -5% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£150/sq ft) was about 40.7% below the postcode norm.
