Held since May 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 44 m² the property is well over the postcode median (27 m² across 54 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 72% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £106,000 is 37.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 20.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
