Held since January 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. At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (85 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2006–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 27.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £217,000 is 35.6% above the 2008 sale price.
