Held since January 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 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £369,000 sits 50.6% above the 2008 sale of £245,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£495/sq ft) was about 125.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 46 m² it sits well below the postcode median (118 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
