Held since April 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. Across 2003–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £290,000 sits 87.1% above the 2008 sale of £155,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£180/sq ft) was about 20% below the postcode norm.
