Held since November 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 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £115,000 is 23.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£96/sq ft) was about 44.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016.
