Today's modelled estimate of £175,000 is 27.1% below the 2007 sale of £240,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. Held since July 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.
