Held since July 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. At 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (78 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £192,000 is 12.3% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£378/sq ft) was about 67.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
