Held since April 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. Today's modelled estimate of £176,000 sits 60% above the 2008 sale of £110,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£122/sq ft) was about 18.8% below the postcode norm.
