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 59 m² it sits well below the postcode median (111 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 17.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £140,000 is 14.8% above the 2007 sale price.
