Held since July 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £106,000 sits 443.6% above the 2000 sale of £19,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£67/sq ft) was about 16.5% below the postcode norm.
