Held since February 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. At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (131 m² across 20 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1998–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £177,000 is 40.5% above the 2008 sale price.
