Held since October 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 24 m² it sits well below the postcode median (38 m² across 33 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £110,000 is 44.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£294/sq ft) was about 47% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
