Held since January 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. Across 1999–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £409,000 sits 53.8% above the 2008 sale of £266,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£549/sq ft) was about 36.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (78 m² across 31 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
