Held since April 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. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at -2.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £159,000 sits 183.9% above the 2007 sale of £56,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£70/sq ft) was about 43.2% below the postcode norm. At 74 m² it's 28.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (104 m² median across 11 EPCs).
