Held since June 2008 — that's 18 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. Sale prices here have outpaced York HPI: 1.9% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £599,000 sits 113.9% above the 2008 sale of £280,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£126/sq ft) was about 51% below the postcode norm. At 207 m² the property is well over the postcode median (96 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
