Held since October 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. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £294,000 sits 66.1% above the 2007 sale of £177,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£310/sq ft) was about 50.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (115 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
