Held since January 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 135 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £426,000 sits 79% above the 2007 sale of £238,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£164/sq ft) was about 19.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
