Held since March 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. 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 31% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £111,000 is 30.6% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£125/sq ft) was about 115.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
