Held since April 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 41 m² it's 19.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (51 m² median across 22 EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £173,000 is 38.4% above the 2007 sale price.
