Held since September 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 1998–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £219,000 sits 52.1% above the 2008 sale of £144,000. At 88 m² it sits well below the postcode median (159 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
