Held since November 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 88 m² the property is well over the postcode median (67 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £310,000 sits 70.3% above the 2008 sale of £182,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£192/sq ft) was about 20.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
