Held since July 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 2001–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £102,000 sits 78.9% above the 2008 sale of £57,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£230/sq ft) was about 70.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 23 m² it's 16.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (28 m² median across 54 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs).
