Held since August 2007 — that's 19 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. Today's modelled estimate of £224,000 sits 56.6% above the 2007 sale of £143,000. At 56 m² it's 26.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (76 m² median across 40 EPCs).
