Held since December 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. Today's modelled estimate of £465,000 sits 136% above the 2008 sale of £197,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£189/sq ft) was about 37.7% below the postcode norm. At 97 m² it's 24.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 8 EPCs).
