Held since December 2007 — 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. At 52 m² it's 17.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (63 m² median across 29 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £121,000 is 28.9% above the 2007 sale price.
